Bangalore, India - October 18, 2010:

Wipro is the only India based service provider to be featured in the report

Wipro Technologies, the Global Consulting, System Integration and Outsourcing Business of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), announced that it has been recognized by Forrester Research, Inc., an independent research firm, as a strong performer in Managed Security Service(MSS) providers in a recently released report titled ‘The Forrester Wave™: Managed Security Services, Q3 2010’.

Forrester evaluated eleven global vendors providing MSS across 78 criteria.  The report states, “Wipro’s extensive offshore capabilities enable it to offer a technically competent list of MSS capabilities at a competitive price point.”

Elaborating on the strategy of Wipro's Enterprise Security Solutions practice, Prasenjit Saha, Vice President and Global Head, Enterprise Security Solutions at Wipro Technologies, said, " Managing security operations require not only in-depth functional and technical expertise but also a robust process that delivers continuous improvements. We believe this recognition from Forrester highlights our focus on creating greater value for customers beyond the obvious cost advantages from Wipro’s global delivery model. Our center-of-excellence led programs help us draw on global best-practices to deliver higher levels of efficiencies to customers through our integrated security operations centers.”

According to the report, “with managed security services, the chief information security officer (CISO) and other senior security leaders aspire to: reduce capital expenditure, fill important security gaps, get more value out of their money [and] keep up with changing regulations and laws.” And they turn to MSS providers for their expertise.
