Bharti Airtel’s enterprise arm has launched a new cybersecurity platform aimed at securing hybrid work environments, as companies grapple with rising and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The telco’s enterprise arm Airtel Business on Thursday introduced Airtel Secure Workforce, describing it as a fully managed and unified Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) solution designed to protect users, devices, applications and data across enterprise networks. The launch comes at a time when organisations are contending with a surge in cyber incidents, with over two million cases reported in 2025.
The platform is positioned as a compliance-ready, end-to-end security stack aligned with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. It integrates connectivity and managed security services, backed by round-the-clock monitoring, while aiming to reduce the operational burden on enterprises managing fragmented security systems.
“Enterprises today are under mounting pressure to protect end users and devices in the constantly-evolving, targeted, AI-powered attacks. Building on our leadership in secure connectivity and cybersecurity, we have designed Airtel Secure Workforce to protect users, data and devices anytime, anywhere.
The solution offers end-to-end protection that combines connectivity and managed security backed by 24×7 expert vigilance. Its unified approach will help us to deliver maximum value to our enterprise customers enabling them to unlock up to 30% optimisation in their security spends and stay focused on their business growth, confident that they are protected,” Sharat Sinha, CEO, Airtel Business, said.
The company said the platform addresses key enterprise challenges such as vendor fragmentation, alert fatigue and cybersecurity talent shortages by consolidating multiple security functions into a single, unified system. It also enables endpoint detection and response, secure remote access, and visibility across networks, users and data through a centralised dashboard.
Airtel added that the solution offers audit-grade logs, structured incident workflows and controls on data movement to strengthen governance and monitoring. It also provides visibility into unauthorised cloud and AI applications, an area of growing concern for enterprises.
As part of the rollout, the company has set up a Secure Workforce Centre of Excellence on Airtel Cloud, allowing enterprises to test the platform in a live environment before deployment at scale.
