Deloitte India has launched 'ConnectSafe' in Bengaluru, described as the country's first cybersecurity facility focused on protecting critical infrastructure and connected ecosystems. The facility simulates real-world cyber threats for industries like automotive and MedTech, shifting focus from traditional IT security to safeguarding operational technology and human safety.
Its core capabilities include end-to-end systems security, quantum-safe systems, and dedicated security operations centres for OT and vehicles. The hub allows organizations to test and strengthen security controls proactively without disrupting their live operations.
Main topics: Deloitte's new cybersecurity facility; protection of critical infrastructure and OT; simulation of cyber threats; future-proofing with quantum-safe systems; India's role in next-generation cyber defense.
Consulting major Deloitte India on Tuesday announced the launch of 'ConnectSafe' in Bengaluru, which it claims is the country's first-of-its-kind cybersecurity facility aimed at safeguarding critical infrastructure and connected ecosystems.
The 4,500-square-foot facility will simulate real-world cyber-threat scenarios across various industries, including automotive, medical technology (MedTech), and consumer ecosystems.
The initiative marks a shift from traditional data-only protection to securing operational technology (OT) and human lives, addressing vulnerabilities in hyper-connected systems, the company said in a statement.
"As industries become increasingly connected, from smart factories and power systems to vehicles and medical devices, cyber threats are no longer limited to IT systems, they directly impact the operational backbone of our economy," said Romal Shetty, CEO, Deloitte South Asia.
Shetty added that the facility will help enterprises build trust and resilience while positioning India as a leader in next-generation cyber defence.
According to the company, the facility's core capabilities include end-to-end connected-systems security, quantum-safe systems to future-proof critical infrastructure, and dedicated security operations centres for operational technology and vehicles (OT-SOC and V-SOC).
The facility enables organisations to test, validate and strengthen security controls without disrupting live operations.
Gaurav Shukla, Partner and Leader, Cyber at Deloitte South Asia, noted that the innovation hub will allow organisations to proactively secure next-generation systems, from micro-level components to large-scale infrastructure.
