Telefónica’s Cybersecurity Service for SMBs, Powered by Allot and McAfee, Prevented More Than 80,000 Possible Security Thr...
August 12 2019 - 7:02AM
The Spanish SMBs subscribed to Conexión Segura Empresas have
avoided more than 80,000 potential cybersecurity incidents, since
the solution was launched in May. Of those, more than 89% of blocks
occurred when users tried to access risky domains or websites, as a
result of ‘phishing’.
“The service that Telefónica Empresas offers to its customers
has been launched at a moment of high level of cybercrime, in which
a new threat is created every 6 seconds, according to research
carried out by Telefónica. Small and Medium Businesses are the
preferred target for cybercriminals, due to their lower level of
protection. Conexión Segura Empresas offers a scalable solution of
the service that is currently being offered to large enterprises
and administrations, so that Small and Medium Businesses can take a
quality leap on their security policy,” declared José Luis
Gilpérez, executive director for Public Administrations, Defense
and Security in Telefónica Spain.Thanks to the security technology
of McAfee and Allot, respectively, Conexión Segura Empresas acts as
a platform that, installed in the core of the Telefónica network,
can ‘filter’ all the data that enter the company network, analyze
their patterns and discard what is categorized as a virus or
malicious software.This solution also prevents users from landing
on Websites categorized as risky or inappropriate due to their
content, and avoids Website impersonation, fraud and private data
theft derived from scams. It also protects the company employees’
fixed and mobile devices in cases of device loss or theft, and when
they are connected outside the corporate network.“Our partnership
with Telefónica and Allot has proven effective in providing
protection for businesses, no matter the size,” says Jesús
Sánchez-Aguilera Head of Consumer and SME EMEA, McAfee. “We believe
that collaboration leads to innovation of the best cybersecurity
solutions. Working together, we provide solutions to help
businesses protect what matters, like customer data and
intellectual property, regardless of the devices they use or the
scale of their business.”“We are very pleased to see the ongoing
success of our comprehensive security service in Europe, said
Francisco Cayuela Delgado, Vice President Global Sales, Telefonica,
and LATAM at Allot. “We take pride in the knowledge that in
addition to protecting Telefonica’s customers, we are enabling the
company to achieve high service penetration rates and customer
satisfaction for this premium security service.”This new service,
with on average 100 new and existing SMB customers subscribing per
day, facilitates the personalization of the security solution
throughout the company through its easy-to-use management portal.
The portal provides data analytics for the company’s Web browsing
behavior and allows them to set control policies.
