MADRID, Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Telefónica
Business Solutions, leading provider of a wide range of integrated
communication solutions for the B2B market, today announced the
launch of Clean Pipes 2.0, a software-based security
service, to prevent known and unknown threats across the
Telefónica Business Solutions' network. The service has been
jointly designed by Telefónica Business Solutions;
ElevenPaths, Telefónica's cyber security unit; and Palo
Alto Networks® (NYSE: PANW), the
next-generation security company.
Delivered as a service to customers via Telefónica Business
Solutions' virtual network infrastructure, Clean Pipes 2.0 (video)
is natively embedded into the Company's platforms to deliver a
breach prevention-oriented architecture that provides superior
security at a low total cost of ownership.
The Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform was
built from the ground up for breach prevention, with threat
information shared across security functions system-wide, and
designed to operate in increasingly mobile, modern networks. By
combining network, cloud and endpoint security with advanced threat
prevention capabilities in a natively integrated security platform,
Palo Alto Networks safely enables all applications and enables
Clean Pipes 2.0 to deliver highly automated, preventive protection
against cyberthreats at all stages in the attack lifecycle without
compromising performance.
Clean Pipes 2.0 is immediately available for Telefonica's
multinational customers across the globe. The service meets
different organizations' needs, by providing features such as
application-layer firewall, advanced protection against known and
unknown threats, web filtering, and intrusion prevention, amongst
others.
Its cloud-based Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
architecture brings reduced operational costs to organizations in
terms of purchasing, deployment and maintenance, without
sacrificing effectiveness or performance. At the same time,
Telefónica Business Solutions' customers will benefit from a
managed service that eliminates the need for hardware investment,
while providing an ever-updated solution. Clean Pipes 2.0 enables
unprecedented flexibility for delivery of
Security-as-a-Service.
"With the implementation of this solution, Telefónica
Business Solutions reinforces the security of Internet services for
large customers even more. Additionally, it allows us to enrich the
value proposition we offer to the segment of Large Enterprises,
with a product that comes with great effectiveness and, at the same
time, with a low investment," explains Hugo de los Santos, CEO B2B Products &
Services of Telefónica Business Solution.
Pedro Pablo Pérez, CEO of ElevenPaths commented,
"Nowadays pressure of zero-day attacks and targeted malware
exploits requires state-of-the-art analytics and precise execution,
for improving customers' network security and cyber-resilience.
Together with Palo Alto Networks, we have deployed this advanced
security infrastructure within our networks, enabling clients to
employ next-generation sophisticated protection, and to simplify
the provisioning and managing of their cyber security
needs."
"We are delighted to join forces with Telefónica to deliver
unparalleled next-generation, breach-prevention security
capabilities to its customers," said Mark Anderson, President of Palo Alto
Networks. "Our collaboration gives organizations peace of
mind, with complete visibility and control over the usage of their
digital services, while knowing that cyberattacks on their most
valued data assets and critical control systems can be
prevented."
