First Corporate to get Security Coverage by this Elite Security Force

Bangalore, India – July 31, 2009: Infosys Technologies (Infosys) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) today announced the deployment of CISF personnel at the Infosys campus in Electronic City, Bangalore. This marks a historic event as Infosys becomes the first corporate organization in India to be provided security cover by this elite security force. The security cover will be rolled out in three phases.

Earlier this year, Infosys and other companies had approached the Home Ministry with a petition for a protective cover over and above the capabilities of their own private security wings and agencies.

To mark the commencement of the CISF deployment on the Infosys campus, Infosys hosted an event at its Bangalore Headquarters which saw participation from Mr. R. K. Mishra, IPS, Inspector General, CISF and senior Infosys management including Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor, and Mr. Mohandas Pai, Member of the Board. The program included the hoisting of the CISF flag by Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, followed by the Ceremonial Guard of Honor by CISF and the official handing over of the ’security key’ by Infosys.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. R. K. Mishra said, “This is the first time, since its creation in 1969, that the CISF will be providing security cover to a corporate organization in India. We are pleased and proud to be entrusted with the responsibility of security at Infosys.”

On receiving the CISF cover, Mr. Mohandas Pai said, “The CISF is India’s premier security force, entrusted with the security of India’s key assets, including government organizations, nuclear power plants, space installations, industrial organizations, airports and heritage sites. As an organization committed to protecting our employees, premises and honouring client commitments, we are confident that the protection offered by the CISF will enhance security on our campuses.”
