Athena Security, Tata Consultancy Services Partner to Reduce Firewall Security Risk

Tata Consultancy Services, a global provider of consulting and outsourced IT Infrastructure services, with operations in more than 40 countries, has selected Athena Security, makers of the advanced security analytics solution, Athena FirePAC, to reduce firewall security risk for customers.

 

As part of the TCS Co-Innovation Network (COIN), the two companies will collaborate on lowering the cost of compliance and improving process efficiency for firewall audits and change monitoring. The program breaks the mold of traditional partnering models by reaping the value of the innovation labs to pool expertise together with product companies, so that breakthrough advancements can be showcased to worldwide customers.

 

The Athena FirePAC product lowers the cost of compliance by testing how traffic is controlled by the firewall without injecting any packets. Comprehensive audits isolate the risky rules for immediate and precise remediation. FirePAC's advanced change analytics enable users to monitor how the firewall is controlling traffic on an ongoing basis. For major project-based initiatives, including data center or platform migrations, FirePAC offers unique solutions to ensure polices are maintained without compromising the security of the network.
