Mumbai, Maharashtra, 7th of July, 2026 : Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. Initially, created to increase operational effectiveness and reduce costs, these centres have gradually turned into strategic units that deliver such services as product engineering, cloud transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), and enterprise innovations. In order to move further along the digital transformation path, one more capability is going to become crucial for the GCC – cybersecurity.
The advent of the digital economy has changed the enterprise attack surface in an unprecedented way. Companies use cloud-native applications, connected devices, hybrid working models, AI-powered platforms, and global distribution models. Although this list of technologies offers numerous opportunities for innovation and growth, it raises serious cybersecurity issues at the same time. Indeed, cyberattacks are no longer isolated cases aimed at attacking the information infrastructure. They can now disrupt the company’s business and influence its financial performance negatively.
The Indian GCC ecosystem is uniquely suited to drive this transformation. Being equipped with mature technology skills, engineering capabilities, and experience in large scale enterprise management, India has become the destination of choice for multinational companies to bolster their cyber resilience. GCCs are handling various activities like Security Operations Centres (SOCs), cloud security, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, identity and access management, and incident response. These capabilities are not limited to regional support anymore but rather protecting the enterprise digital ecosystems globally.
Another trend that is changing the face of cybersecurity landscape is artificial intelligence. Enterprises are leveraging AI for automating various tasks and decision making while the cyber criminals are increasingly turning to AI to launch phishing attacks, create malware, and exploit vulnerabilities in real time. The traditional models of security which are highly dependent on manual efforts are failing to match up to these new challenges.
GCCs are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence in cybersecurity in order to continuously monitor, predict and detect threats, automate response to incidents, and do behavioural analysis through AI.
Mr. Alouk Kumar Founder & CEO Inductus Group quoted “As GCCs keep evolving into global centres of innovation, the significance of cybersecurity has increased to become the foundation of sustainable digital transformation. The integration of AI, cloud, and intelligent automation has ensured that cyber resilience has become a critical aspect of business and not only technology’
Yet another element pushing the development of these centres is the increasing complexity of the global regulation landscape. Companies have to be compliant with an ever-growing number of different data privacy laws, cybersecurity laws, and other kinds of regulatory policies operating on the international market level. GCCs are contributing to integrating governance and security elements into the processes of enterprise operations so that any digital transformation is done in accordance with all laws and regulations without damaging the company’s flexibility.
Finally, there is a trend associated with changing demand for cybersecurity professionals, which is increasing rapidly. There is a shortage of specialists capable of working with innovative technologies and securing them from any kind of threat. GCCs understand that the need for such specialists is only going to increase in the coming years, and therefore, are developing special programs for continuous education and skill improvement of their employees.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the future of GCCs will not be solely about creating new and innovative technologies but also about being able to secure these technologies.
Cybersecurity will become one of the main pillars of the modern GCC in the coming years, just like AI, the cloud, and data. Those who understand the change and create secure, resilient, and intelligence-led GCCs will find themselves more capable of thriving in the dynamic digital environment and growing their businesses sustainably.
