Wipro launches CISO Command Centre with CrowdStrike

Wipro has launched its CISO Command Centre with CrowdStrike, a new service aimed at enterprise cybersecurity operations.

The offering is designed to move security teams away from separate, tool-led processes toward a model centred on business risk, as companies face faster-moving attacks linked to artificial intelligence and automation.

The Command Centre will be delivered through Wipro's CyberTransform and CyberShield services and supported by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. It is intended to bring endpoint security, cloud security, exposure management and AI security into a single security operations environment.

The companies are targeting a key pressure point for large organisations as security teams contend with rising alert volumes and less time to detect and contain threats. The model set out by Wipro and CrowdStrike focuses on turning technical security data into decisions that senior executives and boards can prioritise.

Risk model

The launch also builds on Wipro's broader push to expand its cybersecurity consulting work around enterprise risk management. Rather than positioning the security operations centre purely as a technical monitoring function, Wipro is framing it as part of a wider resilience model tied to business priorities.

That approach reflects a broader trend across the cybersecurity market, where service providers and platform vendors are trying to link threat detection more closely to governance, exposure management and executive oversight. Businesses are under pressure to explain cyber risk in financial and operational terms as attacks become harder to separate from broader operational disruption.

Amar Bysani, Global Practise Head, Cybersecurity and Risk Services at Wipro, described the shift in board-level accountability.

"Cyber risk is intensifying pressure on boardroom decision-making. Threats that once remained dormant for months can now materialize within hours, driven by external triggers and AI-enabled exploitation," Bysani said.

He added that the new unit is intended to help customers process those signals more quickly.

"The Command Centre will work with enterprises to turn security signals into business risk intelligence, enabling them to sense, prioritize, and respond at machine speed," Bysani said.

Joint effort

For CrowdStrike, the announcement extends a partnership model in which its platform serves as the underlying technology in managed and consulting-led security services sold by third parties. Such tie-ups have become an increasingly important route to market as customers seek fewer standalone products and more integrated operating models.

Under the arrangement, the Falcon platform will support detection and response across different parts of an organisation's technology estate. The service will cover endpoint, cloud and AI-related risks while feeding those signals into one operating structure instead of leaving them distributed across separate systems.

Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, linked the move to the way AI is changing both attack methods and defensive planning.

"AI is fundamentally changing both the threat landscape and how enterprises run defense programs. Together, CrowdStrike and Wipro are giving CISOs the AI-native security, intelligence, and services they need to turn risk into action at machine speed and transform security into a business advantage," Bernard said.

AI focus

Wipro also said the service is supported by its participation in Project QuiltWorks, a CrowdStrike-led coalition focused on risks associated with frontier AI. The group aims to identify, prioritise and address risks introduced by advanced AI systems themselves, rather than only threats that use AI as a tool.

That element points to growing concern among large companies over the security implications of deploying AI systems internally while also defending against attackers that use AI to increase the speed and scale of intrusions. Security providers have responded by building services that combine traditional monitoring with governance around AI adoption and model-related risk.

For Wipro, the launch places cybersecurity within its wider consulting and technology services portfolio at a time when major services firms are trying to win more strategic security work from chief information security officers and boards. For CrowdStrike, it reinforces the role of alliances in extending platform adoption beyond direct software sales and into managed service and advisory programmes.

Wipro employs more than 240,000 people and operates across 65 countries, while CrowdStrike has built its business around cloud-based security software for endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data.
