Among its key partners, Cognizant lists Adobe, AWS (Amazon web Services), CA Technologies, Cisco, Dell Technologies, Google, IBM, Informatica, Microsoft, Pega, Pivotal, Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow. Somewhat surprisingly, perhaps, when BleepingComputer reached out to Maze Team, they denied responsibility for the attack. Maybe they thought that they were demonstrating that they could be discreet in protecting an entity’s reputation. DataBreaches.net had also reached out to both Cognizant and Maze Team shortly before BleepingComputer’s article was published. This account will be updated if responses are received. Cognizant’s caudex price closed higher today than it opened.
