BT’s Enterprise unit has launched its new Managed Security Service, to help UK businesses and the public sector better protect themselves from the escalating number and sophistication of cyber threats.
BT is stepping up its commitment to protect UK firms by extending its market-leading cyber security expertise. BT’s team of 3,000 security specialists already provides security solutions to governments and businesses across the globe, including some of the world’s best-known brands, as well as protecting its infrastructure and networks against 6,500 cyber-attacks a day.
BT’s new Managed Security Service builds on its existing suite of solutions for Enterprise customers to help them navigate and manage the rapidly evolving cyber security landscape so that they can focus on running their business.
The service provides customers with proactive monitoring that immediately identifies suspicious activity in a customer’s IT environment and blocks threats and attacks before they happen. As UK businesses continue to migrate towards cloud solutions, BT’s Managed Security Service also monitors both on-premises and cloud infrastructure to manage risk more effectively, regardless of how employees connect; to offices, to mobile staff, to the cloud, or across multiple locations globally.
The new service is delivered by a dedicated BT security team and backed by products and services from a range of market-leading security providers including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto and IBM. Underpinned by BT’s fixed and mobile network, the new cyber security capability will support businesses with greater levels of security and resilience at every level. This means businesses can better protect their customers’ data, re-gain the confidence to embrace new technology, drive digital transformation and focus on growing their business.
