- T-Systems recognised for proven success in
helping customers enhance their cloud security
- Distinction acknowledges depth of technical
security expertise
- Additional security designation follows
competency status in SAP, Migration and other fields
T-Systems announced that is has achieved an Identity and Access
management distinction in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency.
This designation recognizes that T-Systems has demonstrated and successfully
met AWS’s technical and quality requirements for providing customers with a
deep level of software and consulting expertise in Identity and Access
Management to help them achieve their cloud security goals.
The AWS Security Competency underscores T-Systems’ commitment to
delivering data protection services to the highest standard. Achieving the
Identity and Access management distinction in the AWS Security Competency
differentiates T-Systems as an AWS Partner that provides specialized consulting
services designed to help companies from startups and mid-sized businesses to
the largest global enterprises to adopt, develop and deploy security into their
AWS environments increasing their overall security posture on AWS. To receive
the designation, partners must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver solutions
seamlessly on AWS. AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers
identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.
As a Premier Partner and Managed Service Provider (MSP), T-Systems has
already proven success in meeting AWS’s technical requirements and working with
a large number of customers at scale.
Frank Strecker, SVP Global Cloud Computing & Big Data at T-Systems,
states: "Security is a core component of T-Systems’ DNA and key for our
clients’ trust. Recognition as an AWS Security Competency Partner underlines
our commitment in this area.”
In March this year, T-Systems worked with AWS to offer Data Protection
as a Managed Service on AWS. Through the offering, T-Systems using its expert
knowledge of localized needs will manage encryption, and create and implement
transparent residency controls. Data is managed and protected in adherence to
European regulations such as the GDPR and Schrems II judgement, while customers also benefit from the innovation, speed,
scalability, breadth and depth offered by AWS cloud.
One of the first customers for Data Protection as a Managed Service is
Cargodian. The young company from Bavaria offers next generation trade
financing based on blockchain technology. Says founder and CEO Peter Selmayr:
“The challenge was to implement our business model deploying state-of-the-art
technology solutions fully cloud-based, accessible for our customers globally,
applying European data governance. T-Systems’ expertise in Data Protection on
AWS and clarity of what measures are specifically relevant to our use case has
been instrumental in helping us move forward at the right pace."
T-Systems’ successful path with AWS began in 2018. By May 2020,
T-Systems became part of the AWS MSP Program. This security distinction sits
alongside premier partner status for T-Systems as a Managed Service Provider
and Direct Connect Partner, as well as in migration competency, SAP competency
and the well-architected partner program. T-Systems plans to continue driving
value for its customers through its strong relationship with AWS, expanding its
managed cloud solutions – with a strong commitment to security and data
privacy.
