Kyndryl, a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services,  launched its first Cyber Defense Operations Center, a next-generation command hub that unifies network operations and security operations into a single, integrated operating model. The new Center is located in Bengaluru, India, providing global customers with deep cybersecurity and network operations expertise to accelerate incident response, resilience, and overall IT performance.

Enterprises are increasingly confronted by rising IT complexity — including AI-driven cyber risks, costly downtime, and growing expectations for continuous service delivery, and they face mounting pressure to deliver always-on, highly secure digital services. According to the 2025 Kyndryl Readiness Report, only 31% of organizations are ready for external business risks, citing technology complexity as a top barrier to scaling AI. This shift is being accelerated by the rise of agentic AI operating autonomously across cloud, data centers, and edge environments, making it untenable for network and security operations to function in isolation.

"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," said Paul Savill, Global Cyber Security and Resiliency, Network and Edge Practice Leader, Kyndryl. "Kyndryl's Cyber Defense Operations Center introduces a unified, agile operating model that combines AI-enabled insights with deep networking and security expertise, helping customers strengthen resilience, accelerate incident response, and increase end-to-end visibility across the IT ecosystem."

Kyndryl's Cyber Defense Operations Center breaks down traditional silos to deliver real‑time visibility, unified monitoring, and collaborative analysis across the network and security landscape. Featuring end‑to‑end services — spanning advisory, design and implementation, and managed operations — the Center helps enterprises modernize and operate their IT environments with greater security, efficiency, and uptime.
