One of India’s leading municipal corporations embarked on a strategic cybersecurity and IT operations modernization initiative to strengthen cyber resilience across its critical digital infrastructure. Supporting essential citizen services across multiple offices and a workforce of nearly 2 lakh employees, the organization required a unified security framework to improve visibility, governance, threat detection, and operational control across a highly distributed IT environment.
With 20,000+ IT assets and endpoints, the infrastructure demanded integrated cybersecurity capabilities, structured rollout governance, and sustained operational support. Black Box was selected to design, deploy, integrate, and support a comprehensive cybersecurity program while minimizing disruption to municipal operations.
Managing cybersecurity across one of India's major municipal IT environments posed major operational and technical challenges. Over time, security controls had evolved into multiple standalone tools, creating fragmented visibility and inconsistent processes across endpoints, applications, identities, and networks.
The organization aimed to build a unified security framework to improve monitoring, strengthen access controls, streamline vulnerability and patch management, enhance asset visibility, and meet evolving compliance needs.
Execution required coordination across departments and partners while addressing legacy systems, integration gaps, endpoint compatibility, and network readiness.
Black Box acted as a strategic cybersecurity partner, supporting the engagement from requirement definition and solution architecture to deployment, integration, transition, and ongoing security operations support.
