IT infrastructure services provider Kyndryl has expanded its partnership with Vodafone Business to enhance security and resiliency services for Vodafone’s customers across the financial industry.
Headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany, Vodafone GmbH provides a range of services across mobile and fixed-line connectivity, broadband internet, and digital television, serving an estimated customer base of more than 31 million across Germany.
The firm’s new collaboration agreement with Kyndryl marks the latest step in the pair’s ongoing partnership and will see Kyndryl provide new security measures to help Vodafone customers meet their regulatory compliance requirements.
New additions will include endpoint protection services for servers, workstations, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), alongside vulnerability services, proxy management, and web internet protection services.
Kyndryl will scan end customers’ servers, virtual machines, network devices, firewalls, and endpoint devices to identify vulnerabilities to help protect against emerging threats and potential business interruption.
In an announcement, the pair said the move underscores their shared commitment to innovation, excellence, and delivering tangible value to customers.
"We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Kyndryl and further enhance the security posture of our financial industry clients," said Sascha Roeber, head of sales at Vodafone Business’ finance and insurance division.
