TCS bags order from Norway govt agency Bane NOR
Here is your daily dose of key developments from the technology world of India.
TCS selected by Bane NOR to provide security tech
Technology services company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has been selected by Bane NOR, the Norwegian government agency responsible for maintaining, operating, and developing the Norwegian railway network, to enable secure access to the latter’s digital systems.
According to a statement from TCS, Bane NOR needed an end-to-end partner to better secure employees’, partners’, and train operators’ access to business systems. As its strategic partner, TCS’ teams based in Norway and across Europe will provide services spanning identity governance and administration (IGA), access management, identity lifecycle management and application management operations in a managed services model.
A key lever of this transformation is TCS IdentiFence—the identity and access management (IAM) module of TCS’ Cyber Defense Suite. The platform harnesses the power of automation and analytics to ensure the right access to digital assets.
IdentiFence addresses identity and access risks through automated security controls and aims to provide better governance and administration across the digital identity lifecycle. It says it provides faster time to market, better user experience, and enables compliance- and risk-driven access controls across on premise and multi cloud infrastructure.
