Noida: HCL Technologies Ltd on Monday said it has been recognised as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed SASE Services 2025 Vendor Assessment, strengthening its positioning in the fast-evolving secure access service edge (SASE) market.
In a statement, the IT services major said the assessment acknowledges HCLTech’s capabilities across managed SASE deployments, backed by a broad multivendor ecosystem and strategic partnerships with telecom operators and original equipment manufacturers.
IDC noted that HCLTech’s proprietary platforms offer unified observability, AI-driven orchestration and automation across SD-WAN and secure service edge (SSE) environments, helping enterprises reduce deployment risks and accelerate time to value. The company’s global delivery network, dedicated labs and consulting-led approach were also cited as key strengths in the evaluation.
The recognition comes at a time when enterprises are increasingly adopting SASE frameworks to support hybrid work, cloud migration and zero-trust security models, amid rising cyber threats and network complexity.
“We believe this recognition highlights our focus on delivering transformative SASE solutions that redefine secure network environments,” said Gurpreet Singh Kohli, executive vice-president and global business head of networks at HCLTech, adding that the company integrates SASE into long-term zero-trust strategies to align network security with business goals.
HCLTech said its AI-led platforms enable proactive threat management and adaptive network security, positioning clients to handle evolving digital risks. The company has been stepping up investments in network services as part of its broader push in AI, cloud and digital foundation offerings.
With global enterprises prioritising secure, scalable connectivity, industry watchers see managed SASE as a key growth area for IT services firms. For HCLTech, the IDC MarketScape recognition reinforces its strategy of building differentiated, platform-led capabilities in next-generation network and security services.
