Kyndryl has launched its first Cyber Defense Operations Center (CDOC) in Bengaluru, India, establishing a next-generation command hub that integrates network operations and security operations into a single, unified operating model. The new center delivers 24x7 global monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and network performance management, helping enterprises strengthen resilience, accelerate response times, and improve compliance amid rising AI-driven cyber risks and IT complexity.

  • Kyndryl opens its first Cyber Defense Operations Center in Bengaluru, India, unifying network and security operations for faster incident response and enhanced resilience.
  • The center leverages Kyndryl’s Agentic AI Framework for AI-enabled assessments, identifying gaps and prioritizing remediation in customer environments.
  • Features include role-based dashboards for executives, security teams, incident commanders, and DevSecOps leaders, along with automated runbooks, integrated telemetry, and Zero Trust support.
  • Builds on Kyndryl’s global network of security and network operations centers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, integrated via Kyndryl Bridge for a single operational view.
  • Quote from Paul Savill, Global Cyber Security and Resiliency, Network and Edge Practice Leader, Kyndryl: “As AI adoption surges and hybrid IT environments become more distributed, enterprises face faster, more intelligent cyber risks — and a growing shortage of skilled talent to manage them.”
  • The launch addresses findings from Kyndryl’s 2025 Readiness Report, where only 31% of organizations feel ready for external business risks, with technology complexity cited as a top barrier.

Breaking Down Silos for AI-Era Resilience

Enterprises increasingly face hybrid, distributed environments accelerated by agentic AI, creating faster and more sophisticated threats while traditional siloed network and security operations struggle to keep pace. The Bengaluru CDOC eliminates these silos through real-time visibility, collaborative analysis, and automated operations at scale. It combines advisory, design, implementation, and managed services to modernize IT environments, reduce alert fatigue, and support continuous service delivery in mission-critical settings.

Key Capabilities of the Cyber Defense Operations Center

  • AI-Enabled Assessments — Embedded Agentic AI Framework evaluates environments, identifies operational and security gaps, and generates prioritized remediation roadmaps.
  • Role-Based Insights — Tailored dashboards deliver real-time visibility to diverse stakeholders, improving decision-making and cross-team collaboration.
  • Automated Operations — Integrated runbooks, security telemetry, playbooks, and rationalized toolsets minimize manual handoffs and accelerate detection and response.
  • Global Integration — Connected to Kyndryl’s worldwide operations centers via Kyndryl Bridge, providing unified monitoring and management across regions.

Kyndryl plans to expand the CDOC model beyond India to meet growing global demand. The center complements the company’s broader portfolio, including advanced data center networking, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and quantum-safe networking services, all designed to support secure, high-performance operations in the AI era.

Kyndryl is a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, offering advisory, implementation, and managed service capabilities to thousands of customers in more than 60 countries.
