Telefónica Tech and CyberArk to Deliver New
Identity Security Managed Service Offering
Managed Services Provider Expands Cybersecurity Offerings with New
Identity-Driven Solutions Built on CyberArk
Telefónica Tech, the leading digital transformation enabler, and CyberArk the global
leader in Identity Security, are teaming up to deliver an expanded portfolio of SaaS-based
cybersecurity solutions that prioritize a security-first approach to protecting
against identity-driven risk. Customers will benefit from being able to secure
access for all human and machine identities without sacrificing business
agility.
As part of this agreement, both Telefónica B2B customers as well as
Telefónica telecommunications operators will have access to a new set of
innovative cybersecurity offerings, built on the CyberArk Identity Security Platform Telefónica Tech will
offer the CyberArk platform as a managed service, addressing the Identity
Security needs of customers - from large enterprises to SMBs - in multiple
countries including Brazil, Germany, Spain, the UK and the USA.
Organizations are deploying increasingly complex enterprise networks in
order to enable remote work and accelerate digital transformation. As a result,
traditional perimeter-based approaches to security are no longer sufficient –
there are simply too many critical credentials, secrets and identities to
manage without a best-in-class Identity Security solution. Cybercriminals are
regularly able to exploit gaps in network perimeters and negatively impact
businesses by compromising both user and machine identities.
Centered on privileged access management, the CyberArk Identity Security
Platform delivers a security-first approach to authentication, authorization,
access and audit, in an integrated, seamless manner — helping to ensure
protection at every step in the Identity Security lifecycle with a frictionless
user experience.
“Organizations are struggling to adapt their corporate security in the
post-pandemic scenario. To cope with this changing situation, Telefónica Tech
aims to address this need with market-leading security management services,
based not only Telefónica’s SOC capabilities, but also via establishing
alliances with the most advanced technology providers,” said Alberto Sempere,
Cybersecurity Product & Services director, Telefónica Tech. “For this
reason, Telefónica Tech is building out its Identity Security offering with
CyberArk as its foundation, making the entire CyberArk Identity Security
Platform available as a managed services provision to Telefónica Tech customers
around the world.”
“User credentials and machine secrets have become the vector of choice
for attackers as they seek to compromise privileged data and assets at
organizations across all verticals,” said Chris Moore, vice president, Global
Channels, CyberArk. “Telefónica Tech is a leading global managed service
provider, and we are delighted to be an integral part of its managed cyber
services portfolio. Customers will benefit from a proactive Identity
Security-centered approach to mitigating cyber risk.”
