DALLAS, June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
What's the news? AT&T* has expanded the AT&T USM
Anywhere platform to offer an advisory service for new and existing
customers. AT&T USM Anywhere Advisors are a team of
cybersecurity experts that serve as trusted advisors on threat
detection and response to complement in-house cybersecurity skills.
Through the new service, AT&T USM Anywhere Advisors provide
reactive support to AT&T USM Anywhere customers to help with
day-to-day operations and streamline incident response efforts.
Additionally, integrations to AT&T USM Anywhere platform
were recently launched to extend threat detection and response
capabilities as the threat landscape evolves. These integrations
include AT&T AlienApps for Fortinet, SentinelOne, MobileIron,
DDI Frontline Vulnerability Manager and Secure Web
Gateway.
Why are these new USM Anywhere platform offerings
important?
Today's security teams are often overwhelmed and understaffed.
Their efforts to confidently respond to threats may be limited by
the ability of their cybersecurity technologies to react quickly to
alerts. Also, a lack of resources means security teams may not have
the right skills to address the increasing complexity of threats to
the network.
The AT&T USM Anywhere Advisors team evaluates customer
environments for signs of suspicious activity that may have been
missed by existing security controls and that could potentially
impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the
environments. When an incident occurs, the team is also available
to help investigate and deliver an analysis of findings and
recommendations for remediation or further investigation.
AT&T AlienApps provide critical integrations for
AT&T USM Anywhere customers, enabling a holistic view into
threats across endpoints, mobile devices, cloud environments and
networks. The integration of these security solutions also brings
additional context to alarms and helps to break down the silos
created by using multiple point solutions, making it easier for
security teams to quickly detect and respond to advanced threats.
AT&T AlienApps for AT&T Managed Network and Endpoint
Security solutions unify the managed service experience with
cross-portfolio threat detection and response for deeper visibility
into security events.

Jarad Carleton, Frost &
Sullivan Global Manager, Cybersecurity Program
"More
organizations than ever before understand that cybersecurity is a
business enabler, but managing security like a business continues
to be a challenge because it isn't their core competency. That's
why more organizations are partnering with experienced security
teams capable of deploying and managing a threat detection and
response program that is critical for enhancing digital trust and
cyber resiliency."
Rupesh Chokshi, VP,
Cybersecurity
"Effective threat detection and response can
be challenging for organizations as the cyber threat landscape
continues to grow and evolve. To provide a highly secure
environment, teams of people with security expertise are needed.
Through our new support service and integrations, we are committed
to helping AT&T USM Anywhere Platform customers to increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of their security operations by
staying ahead of today's evolving threat landscape and accelerating
their response to security incidents."
