Organisations could benefit from protection against online threats, secure information, employees’ privacy and identity management
Telefónica Tech entered into an agreement with Microsoft to bring cybersecurity services to enterprises around the world at the RSA conference earlier this month.
This collaboration will combine Microsoft’s security and AI solutions with Telefónica Tech’s operational cybersecurity expertise. Telefónica Tech is a managed security services provider (MSSP) which was ranked second on MSSP Alert’s Top 250 Global MSSP list in 2023.
The collaborators claim customers will benefit from proactive, integrated, automated and real-time security management.
With this move, Telefónica Tech is expanding its cybersecurity portfolio which comprises services like Detection & Response, Identity Access Management, Cyber Threat Intelligence or Data Protection. The aim is to improve its incident response and optimise security processes.
The company will integrate Microsoft’s cybersecurity features, including Microsoft Copilot for Security tool, into its security operations.
Digital Operations Centres
This 24×7 protection is managed by Telefónica Tech’s teams with the highest qualifications and certifications in Microsoft technology. The teams will operate from Telefónica Tech’s Digital Operations Centres in Madrid, Spain, and Bogota, Colombia.
María Jesús Almazor, COO of Telefónica Tech for Spain and the Americas, commented, “This global cooperation…is a key milestone. Companies around the world will take advantage of all the opportunities that technology offers to digitize processes and jobs, including tools based on generative artificial intelligence, with maximum security.”
In 2023, Telefónica Tech was recognized by Microsoft as Partner of the Year in Spain, in addition to achieving the highest level of partnership in all of its designations, including security and Azure Expert Managed Services Provider (MSP). In 2024, Telefónica Tech added Microsoft’s Cloud Security and Threat Protection to its capabilties.
