Telefónica Tech is adding Akamai Technologies’ asset segmentation solution ‘Akamai Guardicore’ to its portfolio, complemented by its professional services, to help large companies reinforce their cybersecurity strategy in the face of the greater attack surface that the current hyperconnected environment can entail.
‘Akamai Guardicore Segmentation’ is a segmentation solution that implements Zero Trust principles within the network. This service visualises activity within any IT environment and, based on that visualisation, implements precise micro-segmentation policies, quickly stops potential vulnerabilities and isolates security breaches.
The solution collects detailed information about the customer’s IT infrastructure, contextualises and segments it with tags after analysing the behaviour of the assets with artificial intelligence, and creates a dynamic map so that the organisations’ security teams can consult the network activity in real time or historically and make data-based decisions.
Telefónica Tech will also offer its professional services for the implementation and operation of the ‘Akamai Guardicore Segmentation’ service. To this end, the company has more than 2,500 cybersecurity professionals who provide uninterrupted service from its Digital Operations Center (DOC) and its global network of Security Operations Centres (SOC).
