In a significant move to enhance network transformation and security, Tata Elxsi has announced a strategic partnership with security solutions developer Accuknox. This collaboration introduces a comprehensive solution for operators to build and secure autonomous networks, leveraging Tata Elxsi’s NEURON product suite and Accuknox’s state-of-the-art cloud-native security solution, NIMBUS. This partnership represents a major leap forward in securing the future of telecommunications networks, combining Tata Elxsi’s award-winning telco automation platform NEURON with Accuknox’s innovative security capabilities.

The NEURON suite, known for its role in facilitating 5G rollout and automating 5G NOC operations, is enhanced with Gen AI to provide smart end-user interactions, digital twin capabilities, and AI/ML algorithms for predictive intelligence. NIMBUS, on the other hand, brings a unique capability to identify essential network and host security policies through environment profiling. These policies are formulated as intents, making them applicable in a cloud-native manner to any Kubernetes workload, from Core to the RAN. The implementation of these intents ensures real-time inline security against potential attackers, marking a novel approach to securing cloud-native workloads.

The integration of NEURON with NIMBUS enables operators to deploy and secure cloud-native workloads with unprecedented precision and efficiency. This intent-driven approach to security simplifies the orchestration and enforcement of security policies, leveraging the best tools through a single pane of control. Rajagopalan Rajappa, CTO of Communications at Tata Elxsi, emphasized the collaboration’s aim to simplify deployment complexities while ensuring security and resilience, preparing networks for future advancements including 6G. Rahul Jadhav, Co-founder & CTO at Accuknox, highlighted the partnership’s potential to leverage Zero Trust technology, ensuring that 5G deployments are risk-mitigated.

The integrated NEURON platform with AccuKnox Nimbus will be showcased at the Tata Elxsi Meeting Room during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. This event will also feature other solutions for operators across Connected Cars, Smart Factories, Connected Healthcare, and Smart Infrastructure, demonstrating Tata Elxsi and Accuknox’s commitment to advancing secure, autonomous network solutions.
