Enterprise focus on cybersecurity technologies
Vodafone launched its Enterprise Security Services platform, which is designed to provide enterprise customers with cybersecurity technologies and support. The company said the VESS line will bring together the group’s current portfolio of security products.
The new business line is set to offer products, services and support in cloud-based protection for business-critical applications; network perimeter management; threat detection and response; and security assessments and advisory services focused on customer security policy development, risk management and compliance processes.
Simon Church is set to join the company in April as chief executive of the division, reporting to Vodafone Group Enterprise CEO Nick Jeffery.
“Our customers know they face a wide range of cyberthreats, many of which could materially impact their operations and brand,” Jeffery said.
