Software giant Infosys on Friday came under the security blanket of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), becoming the first private firm to be protected by the force which usually guard government installations.
The commencement of the CISF deployment at the Infosys campus was marked with the hoisting of the CISF flag by company chairman and chief mentor NR Narayana Murthy followed by a ceremonial guard of honour by the force and the official handing over of the security keys by the Infosys.
The Bangalore-headquartered Infosys, which was reported to be on terror radar, had approached the Union Home Ministry earlier this year for a protective cover over and above the capabilities of their own private security wings and agencies.
