CARTA provides an end-to-end solution that allows continuous and automated discovery of the digital attack surface. With the help of CARTA, Tech Mahindra’s customers will be able to defend their critical assets against advanced adversaries by identifying attack surfaces and paths which can cause the most damage to an enterprise.

Kunal Purohit, Chief Digital Services Officer, Tech Mahindra, said, “In today’s phygitally connected world, guarding the cyber frontier has become imperative. It is no longer enough to do occasional or manual penetration testing to prevent revenue loss caused by cyber-breach. There is a pressing need for holistic and advanced cyber-defense solutions to safe-guard business critical data. The partnership with FireCompass will assist our customers with continuous security risk assessments and maintaining up-to-date security postures. The smart automation offering can be used by any kind of customer, in a wide range of industries, to thoroughly assess and strengthen their cybersecurity strategies.”

 Traditionally, most organizations conduct security testing a few times a year against a partial list of known digital assets, leaving out unknown or forgotten technologies. To address this, Tech Mahindra and FireCompass will join forces to offer global enterprises a system that automatically understands the vulnerabilities, determines the method of exploitation, and launches safe attacks which mimic a real-world threat. CARTA identifies attack paths that conventional tools miss out on. The game-changing approach will also provide Tech Mahindra’s customers with continuous and holistic visibility of the security posture of their enterprise and give them the information needed to protect against common attack scenarios.

We are delighted to partner with Tech Mahindra, the leading provider of digital transformation solutions, to help customers to continuously discover and test their attack surface.”
