Telecommunications vendor Vodafone Germany is teaming up with Accenture to offer managed security services to SMBs in Germany.
The new service, which integrates with Vodafone’s portfolio of mobile, fixed, IoT and cloud solutions, aims to help companies identify security vulnerabilities and detect, respond to and recover from cyberattacks.
They complement Vodafone’s existing cybersecurity offerings, enabling the firm to provide enterprise-grade cybersecurity to businesses of all sizes.
“Working with Accenture, we will be able to provide small- and medium-sized businesses with the highest level of services to address the growing landscape of cyber threats, leveraging our combined capabilities and global experience to deliver modular security solutions, offering access to technologies that until now were only available to companies with large IT budgets,” said Alexander Saul, MD of corporate customers at Vodafone Germany.
Vodafone will manage the services and Accenture Security will deliver them. They include Penetration testing, vulnerability management, phishing awareness, cyber exposure diagnostic and firewall management among others.
“We are excited to team with Vodafone to make our security services accessible to a diverse group of new customers looking to achieve enterprise-grade security at an affordable cost,” said Thomas Schumacher, who leads Accenture Security in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Russia. “Our team of international cybersecurity professionals is ready to create individually tailored, easy-to-deploy solutions to Vodafone’s customers.”
Since 2020, Vodafone and Germany have been jointly investing in security innovation to help keep firms safe as new threats emerge.
