Vodafone Business is teaming with Accenture to deliver managed security services to small to medium enterprises (SME) and national corporate customers in Europe.
Vodafone will bring enterprise-grade cybersecurity along with access to leading cyber talent and expertise to organisations that do not have the experience, time or resources to keep up with the rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Vodafone Business with Accenture Security will deliver comprehensive managed and professional security services to help businesses to detect, respond and recover from a cyberattack including:
- Cyber assessment services that will start the customer journey – to include employee awareness, cyber resilience and vulnerability diagnostics.
- Managed security services include monitoring, incident management and response that will be easy to use, deploy and grow with a business – removing complexity at every stage. These services will leverage Accenture’s recent acquisition of Symantec’s Cyber Security Services business.
- Professional services focused on risk assessment, testing and testing employee awareness of phishing attacks.
- Joint investment in an innovation lab focused on security solutions and intelligence for workplace, cloud, IoT and SD-WAN environments.
- A simple and seamless experience including onboarding, delivery and service management, streamlining the time it takes to deploy and protect a business.
Vodafone Business managed security services will launch later this year to SME and national corporate sized businesses, initially in Italy and Spain with the United Kingdom and Germany to follow.
