PwC India Launches Connected Cybersecurity Centre in Bengaluru

en.Wedoany.com Reported - PwC India has established a Connected Cybersecurity Solutions Centre (CCSC) in Bengaluru, India, designed to help organizations address cybersecurity threats in areas such as smart factories, connected products, and critical infrastructure.

The CCSC features two dedicated zones: a Product Security Operations Centre (Product SOC) and a Hardware Product Testing Centre, capable of simulating real-world environments in use cases such as smart factories, electric vehicle charging, smart grids, drones, smart cities, and medical devices. Through interactive demonstrations, accelerated proof-of-concepts, co-creation workshops, and real-time attack and defense drills, the centre helps clients move from demonstrations to actual deployment.

The centre is supported by PwC's proprietary cybersecurity accelerator suite, including Smart Product (IoT) Shield, Smart Factory (OT) Shield, Technical Compliance Management System (TCMS), Cyber Nerve Center, Quantum and Cryptographic Services Platform, Digital Twin, Digital Assets (Blockchain), and Next-Generation Connectivity (5G) use cases. These accelerators are integrated through technologies such as AI/ML, ELK, edge computing, blockchain, PKI, and confidential computing, helping clients maintain security throughout the entire lifecycle of products—from R&D and design to production, after-sales, and disposal.

The centre is equipped with over 11 on-site demonstration stations covering attack scenarios such as ransomware, lateral movement, PLC logic manipulation, SCADA tampering, GPS spoofing, CAN bus attacks, Bluetooth and RFID exploits, and malicious Wi-Fi takeover, integrated with PwC's detection, monitoring, response, and remediation capabilities.

Siddharth Vishwnath, Partner and Head of Risk Consulting at PwC India, stated that the CCSC aligns cybersecurity decisions with business speed. Clients can enter the centre with problems, see use cases demonstrated and validated in real hardware, OT, and IoT environments, thereby shortening the process from insight to implementation and reducing risks in transformation projects.

The launch of this centre marks PwC India's expansion from technology consulting to technology engineering and platform building, with its accelerator platform built and operated by an in-house team.
