Bharti Airtel 's B2B arm, Airtel Business, has announced the launch of Airtel Secure Workforce — India's first fully-managed and unified Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) security platform for enterprises. The announcement, made on May 7, 2026, comes against the backdrop of over two million cybersecurity incidents reported in 2025 alone, underscoring the growing scale and sophistication of cyberattacks in the AI-driven era.

A Unified Security Platform for the Hybrid Enterprise

Airtel Secure Workforce is designed to deliver end-to-end, compliance-ready security for enterprises operating with hybrid workforces. Powered by Airtel's pan-India network and 24×7 expert vigilance, the platform aims to secure endpoints across users, devices, networks, applications, and data — while removing the operational burden of building and managing security infrastructure in-house. The solution is built to support compliance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, offering audit-grade logs, data movement controls, and structured incident workflows for enhanced monitoring, response, and governance.

Key Features and Capabilities

The platform consolidates fragmented, multi-vendor security deployments into a single unified stack. Its core value propositions are summarised below:

By replacing multi-vendor deployments with an integrated platform, Airtel Secure Workforce aims to strengthen endpoint detection and response, secure remote access at every touchpoint, and address enterprise challenges such as tools overload, alert fatigue, and cybersecurity talent shortage.

Leadership Perspective

Commenting on the launch, Sharat Sinha, CEO – Airtel Business, stated: "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 24x7 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."

Centre of Excellence and Availability

As part of the launch, Airtel Business has also unveiled the Airtel Secure Workforce Centre of Excellence (CoE) — a live environment hosted on Airtel Cloud where enterprises can experience the platform before scaling. This initiative allows organisations to evaluate the solution in a real-world setting prior to full deployment. Further details are available at www.airtel.in/b2b/secure-workforce .
