Cisco aims to train 500,000 cybersecurity workers in India

Jaipur: Cisco aims to train 500,000 cybersecurity professionals in three years across India. The company said its goal is to train 500,000 people with cybersecurity skills over the next 3 years, across India.

This goal is part of Cisco’s 10-year ambition to empower 25 million people with digital skills worldwide through Cisco’s Networking Academy. The flagship program is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

During this time, the program has reached 17.5 million students across 190 countries. Since starting operations in India, it has trained 1.2 million students through 718 partnerships with educational institutions and organisations offering Networking Academy courses.

The announcement was made at the Cisco India Summit (CIS) 2023 in Jaipur.

Cisco aspires to equip India’s students with the career-ready technical skills required to meet the ever-growing security needs of tomorrow.

It intends to impart cybersecurity skills to half a million individuals by the end of fiscal 2025. This builds on the Networking Academy’s efforts in India. Additionally, 95% of surveyed students who took Cisco certification-aligned courses have either obtained a job opportunity and/or an opportunity to further advance their education.



“As technology becomes all-pervasive, India’s vision for a prosperous and inclusive future will be rooted in digital trust. To make this happen, a skilling revolution, especially in cybersecurity, is vital,” said Daisy Chittilapilly, President of Cisco India and SAARC.

“Today, we are doubling down on our commitment to help build future-ready workforces through the Networking Academy program. We aim to empower India’s youth to leverage the cyber opportunities emerging in the hybrid, digital-first world,” added Chittilapilly.



“Amidst the ever-changing threat landscape, the need to invest in cybersecurity skilling and develop the next generation of security leaders has never been greater,” said Laura Quintana, VP and GM of Cisco Networking Academy.

“India has always been and continues to be a critical talent hub for us, and we are proud to expand our training and education opportunities to provide its people the digital skills necessary to build an inclusive future for all,” added Quintana.



Founded in 1997, Cisco Networking Academy’s mission is to enable an equitable and inclusive workforce on a global scale. It continues to be one of the longest-standing IT skills-to-jobs programs in the world.

Are companies in India ready against cyber threats? - TechHerald.in 21/03/2023

Are companies in India ready against cyber threats?

New Delhi: With an enormous focus on digitisation and digital transformation in recent years, are companies in India ready against cybersecurity threats?

A majority of companies in India aren’t ready and resilient against cybersecurity risks reveals a new Cisco report released on Tuesday. Only 24% of companies in India have the ‘Mature’ level of readiness needed to be resilient against today’s modern cybersecurity risks, according to Cisco’s maiden Cybersecurity Readiness Index.

The index has been developed against the backdrop of a post-COVID, hybrid world, where users and data must be secured wherever work gets done. The report highlights where businesses are doing well and where cybersecurity readiness gaps will widen if global business and security leaders don’t take action.

Organisations have moved from a largely static operating model – where people operated from single devices from one location, connecting to a static network – to a hybrid world.

In a hybrid world, they increasingly operate from multiple devices in multiple locations, connect to different networks, access applications in the cloud and on the go, and generate an enormous amount of data. This presents new and unique cybersecurity challenges for companies.

Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index: Resilience in a Hybrid World

Titled, Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index: Resilience in a Hybrid World, the report measures the readiness of companies to maintain cybersecurity resilience against modern threats. These measures cover five core pillars that form the baseline of required defences: identity, devices, network, application workloads, and data, and encompass 19 different solutions within the pillars.

The independent third-party conducted survey asked 6,700 private sector cybersecurity leaders across 27 markets to indicate which of these solutions they had deployed and the stage of deployment. Companies were then classified into four stages of increasing readiness: Beginner, Formative, Progressive and Mature.

• Beginner (Overall score of less than 10): At the initial stages of deployment of solutions

• Formative (Score of between 11 – 44): Have some level of deployment, but performing below average on cybersecurity readiness

• Progressive (Score of between 45 – 75): Considerable level of deployment and performing above average on cybersecurity readiness

• Mature (Score of 76 and higher): Have achieved advanced stages of deployment and are most ready to address security risks

Findings

India scored high in the global chart in terms of maturity (24%), performing above the global average of 15% on cybersecurity readiness. About 38% of companies in India fall into the Beginner or Formative stages. While companies in India are faring better than the global average, the number is still very low, given the risks.



This readiness gap is telling, not least because 90% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next 12 to 24 months. The cost of being unprepared can be substantial as 80% of respondents said they had a cybersecurity incident in the last 12 months, and 53% of those affected said it cost them at least $500,000.

“Organisations have moved from an operating model that was largely static to a hybrid world, which presents new and unique cybersecurity challenges. In this environment, understanding how organisations are preparing to deal with these new challenges is critical,” said Vish Iyer, VP of Architectures, Cisco APJC.

The Index focuses on five core pillars of identity, devices, network, applications, and data, and examines organisational postures in securing them.

“These five pillars need to be protected with a mix of point tools and integrated platforms to achieve security resilience while reducing complexity. Only then will businesses be able to close the cybersecurity readiness gap,” added Iyer.

Business leaders must establish a baseline of ‘readiness’ across the five security pillars to build secure and resilient organisations. As many as 95% of the respondents plan to increase their security budgets by at least 10% over the next 12 months, the report states.

“Cybersecurity is a top priority for businesses as they continue their digitisation journey. With hybrid work becoming mainstay and services being application-driven, it is critical that organizations close the security readiness gap,” said Samir Mishra, Director of Security Business Group, Cisco India and SAARC.

“Assessing security readiness and ensuring that organisations adopt an integrated platform approach to secure the five key pillars will play an integral role in helping businesses futureproof themselves,” added Mishra.

Other key findings of the index include:

Readiness across the five key pillars

• Identity: Only 35% of organisations are ranked Mature

• Devices: This has the highest percentage of companies in the Mature stage at 39%

• Network Security: Companies are lagging on this front with 26% of organisations in the Beginner or Formative stages

• Application Workloads: This is the pillar where companies are the least prepared, with 51% of organisations in the Beginner or Formative stages

• Data: 31% of companies are in the Mature stage

HPE to acquire OpsRamp

Bangalore: Enterprise tech giant HPE will acquire OpsRamp, a San Jose, California-based IT operations management (ITOM) company for an undisclosed sum. HPE has signed a definitive pact to acquire OpsRamp, the company said in a statement on Monday.

As an ITOM company, OpsRamp focuses on IT operations management functions. It monitors, observes, automates and manages IT infrastructure, cloud resources, workloads and applications for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including the leading hyperscalers.

Interestingly, prior to the decision to acquire OpsRamp, HPE Pathfinder – the venture capital arm of HPE was one of the investors in OpsRamp along with Sapphire Ventures and Morgan Stanley Investments’ private investment arm Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital in 2020.

With this acquisition, HPE plans to add OpsRamp’s IT operation management capabilities to its GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and offer a unified approach to customers in terms of managing multi-vendor computing, networking, storage, and application resources in hybrid and multi-cloud IT environments.

HPE said OpsRamp’s technology will be integrated with GreenLake platform, available standalone as-a-service, and embedded within HPE’s compute, storage, and networking solutions.

OpsRamp’s hybrid digital operations management solution and HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform will be integrated and will get support from HPE services. This integration, according to HPE will reduce the operational complexity of multi-vendor and multi-cloud IT environments that are in the public cloud, colocations, and on-premises.

On the other HPE will also leverage OpsRamp’s technology that delivers discovery, monitoring, automation, and event resolution with artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps), providing the customers’ end-to-end visibility, observability, and control across hybrid and multi-cloud IT environments.

HPE is eyeing a major share of the ITOM market, which Gartner estimates to be around $39 billion market. According to IDC trends report, as many as 64% of enterprises use multiple cloud providers, which requires the key ability to manage the IT operations sprawl across heterogeneous cloud environments.

“Customers today are managing several different cloud environments, with different IT operational models and tools, which dramatically increases the cost and complexity of digital operations management,” said Fidelma Russo, CTO of HPE.

“The combination of OpsRamp and HPE will remove these barriers by providing customers with an integrated edge-to-cloud platform that can more effectively manage and transform multi-vendor and multi-cloud IT estates. This acquisition advances HPE hybrid cloud leadership and expands the reach of the HPE GreenLake platform into IT Operations Management,” added Russo.

“The integration of OpsRamp’s hybrid digital operations management solution with the HPE GreenLake platform will provide an unmatched offering for organisations seeking to innovate and thrive in a complex, multi-cloud world,” said Varma Kunaparaju, CEO of OpsRamp.

“Partners and the channel will also play a pivotal role to advance their as-a-service offerings, as enterprises look for a unified approach to better manage their operations from the edge to the cloud,” added Kunaparaju,

“We look forward to leveraging the scale and reach of HPE’s global go-to-market engine to deliver our unique offering and are excited for this journey ahead as part of HPE.”

Today, HPE GreenLake has over 65,000 customers, powers more than two million connected devices and manages more than one exabyte of data with customers worldwide. The company expect the transaction to get close in the third quarter of the HPE 2023 fiscal year, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Amarish Karnik decodes Veeam’s channel strategy in India

“Our strategy in India is to achieve long term rapid growth for our customers, channel partners, and the organisations with whom we collaborate in our alliance ecosystems,” says Amarish Karnik, Channel Sales Director – India and SAARC, Veeam Software.

For software and technology vendors, channel partners are the core backbone of their revenues and increasing their customer base. And that’s no different for Veeam Sofware, which develops software solutions and products in highly critical areas of data backup, disaster recovery and modern data protection.

However, in today’s digital age, software vendors look for channel partners beyond reselling and distribution. In fact, Veeam’s channel partner community not just had resellers and distributors, but also includes Value-Added Resellers, Distributors and Aggregators, Global System Integrators and Professional Services Providers. And these channel partners are backed through channel partner programmes which are updated annually to serve their commercial interests as well as business growth on a long-term basis.

In this interview, Amarish Karnik, Veeam Software’s Channel Sales Director – India and SAARC talks to TechHerald on Veeam’s channel strategy in 2023 for the Indian market, channel business outlook and the change in the approach of organisations and businesses in the post-pandemic years and more.

Edited excerpts

Q1. What is Veeam’s channel partner and reseller strategy in 2023 for the Indian market?

Amarish Karnik: Veeam is a 100% channel business, and our ecosystem includes valued service providers, resellers, distributors, and alliance partners to service customers’ modern data protection needs. We have over 3,000 resellers and distributors in APJ, and we are all committed to ensuring business continuity across industries through uninterrupted access to any data and application across any hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud infrastructure.

Our strategy in India is to achieve long-term rapid growth for our customers, channel partners, and the organisations with whom we collaborate in our alliance ecosystems. We are also looking to expand our scale by investing in technology, talent, and areas that can help our partners grow.

Partners are the biggest component in our go-to-market strategy, they help us thrive in the evolving business landscape and better respond to customer demands. Furthermore, our partner ecosystem allows us to scale our business across markets (Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3) and various verticals. What distinguishes us as a channel-centric vendor is that our collaboration with partners provides considerable and continuous benefits.

Our partner programmes and our investments in the channel community are designed to help our partners grow, as we grow our business in the market, which makes it a very exciting prospect for our channel partners. We assist our partners in better understanding how their customers consume technology and rethinking their approach to implementing the best strategies for their customers that maximise both efficiencies and cost savings.

We educate them on how the cloud can improve business agility and lower the cost of providing a better customer experience, and arm them with the knowledge of the potential risks associated with moving businesses to a multi-cloud, hybrid cloud world.

Our Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VSCP) service is another area where we are seeing significant expansion. As customers look to buy things as a service, we are helping service providers deliver to our customer base. Partners in our robust Veeam Pro Partner Network are able to work directly with one another to build, market and sell Veeam’s solutions and services to their customers regardless of where they want to host their data. “Your success is our mission” is the foundation of our channel programmes. We look forward to further expanding and consolidating our partner network to constitute a strong channel ecosystem across markets.

Q2. From the Indian channel partners’ perspective, what’s the company’s business outlook in 2023?

Amarish Karnik: Veeam is constantly innovating and is at the forefront of delivering modern data protection to our customers. We give them the confidence to accelerate digital transformation and drive business resiliency. We also offer modern data protection solutions for the multi-cloud enterprise through strong alliance partnerships and seamless technology integrations with leading cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Cloud, and IBM Cloud. Veeam has been consistently performing and has been the #1 Data Replication and Protection Provider (DR&P) worldwide, in IDC’s Semi-annual Software Tracker for 2H’21.

In addition to our global position, Veeam was the market share leader in EMEA and LATAM, third in APJ, and had the fastest Y-o-Y growth among the top five companies in all three regions. Being tied as #1 in the market is a huge accomplishment for not only Veeam but our entire ecosystem. Our customers and partners deserve credit for making this a reality.

As IT environments continue to grow more complex and demanding, IT leaders feel they aren’t sufficiently protected and it’s now obvious that modern data protection must be integrated into their overall cyber preparedness plan.

Our key focus for this year is to deliver modern data protection solutions for the multi-cloud enterprise and help customers manage and back up all new types of data that are critical to their environment. The new Veeam Data Platform brings the best of Veeam solutions together to deliver a single platform designed to give our customers the choice to leverage the right solution that fits their needs and keeps their business running.

APJ has been one of our fastest-growing regions with annual recurring revenue (ARR) increase of 27% year-over-year (YoY) in Q2’22. Within APJ, India plays an important role in the region’s growth, with brands such as Granules India, Mahindra Group, and Hero MotoCorp, deploying our solutions. In India, we plan to achieve rapid growth for our customers through our partner ecosystem. As we continue to gain market share and grow in India, we are also looking to expand our scale by investing in technology, talent, and areas that can help our customers and partners grow.

Q3. With the pandemic years almost ended, more organisations and businesses are moving back to the old ways of operations to an extent. Has this approach somewhat impacted Veeam’s go-to-market strategy in 2023?

Amarish Karnik: With organisations expressing a desire to return to the pre-pandemic environment while continuing to embrace hybrid cloud and digital transformation, we want to help our partners add more value and build more strategic relationships with our customers. Veeam’s partner programmes and investments in the channel community are designed to help our channel partners grow as we grow our market business, making it an exciting prospect for our channel partners.

Veeam is a firm believer that the success of our partners reflects on our success as an organisation. We continuously strive to bring constant innovation to our product portfolio as well as our partner programmes to stay relevant in the industry. We have seen a change in the market dynamics and hence our partner programmes are always innovative and relevant. We have recognised that the move to cloud architectures and transition to agile opex and subscription-based IT is driving substantial change.

The cloud is a convenient way to store backups offsite and a cost-effective alternative to a traditional DR site. With the primary aim to support our partners in meeting the changing needs/requirements of customers and to accelerate their business as well as strengthen their revenue, Veeam is constantly driving competencies, simplicity, and consistency so partners can ensure customer success and meet their business objectives.
