Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP has expanded its strategic partnership with Google Cloud to deliver AI-powered cybersecurity solutions for enterprises and public sector organisations in India. Deloitte India has been positioned as a premier partner, reseller and Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) for Google Cloud in the country.
The collaboration has focused on helping organisations manage cyber risks by combining Deloitte’s security advisory capabilities with Google Cloud’s AI-driven security operations portfolio, as per media reports. It has aimed to address challenges linked to rising cyber threats, regulatory compliance, data localisation requirements and talent shortages.
As part of the partnership, Deloitte India has supported clients in designing and operating modern Security Operations Centres (SOCs), migrating legacy systems to the cloud and adopting security-as-a-service models. The collaboration has been intended to improve threat detection and response while reducing the need for large in-house security teams.
The partnership has involved deployment and management of key Google Cloud security solutions, including Google Security Operations for managed detection and response services, Google Cloud Cybershield for public sector cyber defence infrastructure, and Google Threat Intelligence for proactive threat hunting.
The expanded collaboration has remained focused on India, reflecting sector-specific regulatory requirements and data protection norms. It has targeted sectors such as BFSI, manufacturing, energy, consumer businesses, conglomerates and government organisations. The initiative has also supported compliance with Indian and global regulatory frameworks, including RBI, SEBI, IRDA, DPDPA and GDPR.
“In an era where digital trust is the currency of businesses, our alliance with Google Cloud marks a significant milestone for the Indian market. By combining Deloitte’s deep industry knowledge and cybersecurity legacy with Google Cloud’s pioneering technology, we are building a resilient digital infrastructure for India. Deloitte’s advisory layer will also help ensure that Google Cloud’s security tools are deployed in line with Indian regulatory frameworks and mandates, simplifying compliance.” — Tarun Kaura, Partner, Deloitte India
“The reasons for this partnership are multifold. As organisations across India accelerate their digital transformation, they are facing a combination of challenges, including an AI-enabled threat landscape, rising expectations around data localisation and regulatory compliance, an acute cybersecurity talent gap and fragmented security tools that limit visibility. The partnership has been established to address these needs with an integrated, cloud-native security operations approach that uses AI to help defend against AI-enabled threats, consolidate security data and tooling and provide managed security services at scale.” — Anand Tiwari, Partner, Deloitte India
“Security is not an add-on; it is the foundation of all digital innovation. We are delighted to deepen our collaboration with Deloitte India. As a Premier Partner and Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), Deloitte is well-positioned to operationalise our AI-first security platform for Indian enterprises. Together, we are committed to democratising access to nation-state grade security capabilities for organisations across the region.” — Sandeep Patil, Head of Security Partners & Managed Services, Google Cloud, Asia Pacific and Japan
“The combination of Google Cloud security innovations and Deloitte’s strategic implementation capabilities creates a formidable defence stack. We are empowering Indian organisations with the ability to detect, investigate and respond to threats at the speed and scale of Google. This partnership helps to ensure that our most advanced tools, including Gemini in Security, are effectively adopted to reduce security team burnout and close the cybersecurity talent gap.” — Jyoti Prakash, Head of Security Sales, Google Cloud, India.
