T-Systems, the business customer arm of Deutsche Telekom last week announced a partnership with FireEye, one of the innovation leaders in the area of cyber security to offer a comprehensive managed security service for corporate customers in Europe The German service provider said that the new service will protect companies quickly and effectively against IT espionage and cyber attacks.
The solutions from FireEye supplement traditional defense systems such as firewalls and anti-virus programs that are unable to detect and ward off targeted attacks. According to T-Systems, the new service will supplement its "Advanced Cyber Defense by Telekom" (ACD) security portfolio and is tailored to the security requirements of major international corporations. T-Systems also offers the integration and operation of solutions, in addition to monitoring and evaluation of events.
Reinhard Clemens, Member of the Telekom Board of Management and CEO of T-Systems
In a study produced by FireEye (source: M-Trends 2014), it found that when responding to breaches, on average, companies were compromised for 229 days. With FireEye, we are increasing the detection speed, enabling us to initiate the defense within minutes. Together we not only provide our customers with an alert but also detect the relevance immediately and can initiate targeted countermeasures.
Frank Kölmel, VP Central Europe at FireEye
No other provider of security solutions has identified so many critical security gaps during this period and worked on fixing them. Together withT-Systems we are able to offer a Managed Security Service and thus unrivalled protection against cyber attacks in Europe.
