eSentire Launches Tech Innovation Center in India to Enhance Cybersecurity Capabilities

eSentire, a global cybersecurity solutions provider offering Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions, announced the launch of a new Technology Innovation Center in India.

Operating under the legal entity eSentire India Private Limited, this marks a strategic expansion for eSentire, aiming to leverage India's pool of exceptional engineering talent to bolster its capabilities in cybersecurity, generative AI, and low-code orchestration and automation.

The primary focus of the Innovation Center is to accelerate the development of eSentire's Atlas XDR Cloud Platform across three core functions:

• Low-code orchestration and automation: This will scale the security expertise of eSentire security analysts in halting cyberattacks by streamlining response workflows through automation.
• Generative AI: The center will work on integrating generative AI into investigation and response workflows, enhancing efficiency for end-users and the eSentire Security Operations Center (SOC).
• Further development of eSentire Intellectual Property: The center will also contribute to enhancing eSentire's proprietary security detection, investigation, and response capabilities across various data sources including network, endpoint, log, cloud, and identity data.

Led by Dustin Hillard, eSentire's Chief Technology Officer, and Raghunath Konda, eSentire's VP of Engineering, the Technology Innovation Center has already onboarded 50 software engineers in Bengaluru, India. These engineers will play a pivotal role in enhancing the Atlas XDR Cloud Platform.

“India is a thriving ecosystem of cybersecurity talent, particularly in cloud security and generative AI,” said Hillard. “The opening of our Innovation Center in India will enable eSentire to fully leverage local talent to accelerate the capabilities delivered by our XDR platform as we continue to deliver industry-leading MDR value with 24/7 SOCaaS, security monitoring, and incident handling at scale.”
