someone connects. Telefonica can potentially achieve very high
service penetration ratios for this premium security service. This
value-added service provides antivirus and content filtering
services on the network and the endpoint device in a unified
manner," said Hagay Katz, Vice
President Cybersecurity at Allot.
"McAfee's goal is to deliver integrated security across
business and consumer devices in a way that helps our customers
stay protected from the latest threats," said Pedro Gutierrez, Senior Vice President, Global
Consumer and SMB Sales at McAfee. "Our products allow us to work
with key partners, like Allot, to bring innovative solutions to
service providers. We're confident that this combination of
endpoint and network-based security delivers Telefonica customers
with comprehensive protection on and off the network."
According to Jose Luis Gilperez, Executive Director Public
Administrations, Defense and Security, Telefónica España, "There is
a current need in the market to offer an advanced protection
service for the fixed and mobile network of companies. We believe
