Telefonica Tech targets cloud security boost

Telefonica Tech is rolling out a new managed security service for businesses running hybrid or cloud-native systems in the UK and Ireland, using technology from US vendor Netskope. Branded Security Edge, the offer runs on Netskope’s One Platform, which folds security, networking and analytics into a single system. Telefonica Tech says it applies zero trust principles and AI to control access and protect data in transit, while aiming to cut costs and reduce risk for customers.

The service includes threat prevention and coverage for users across multiple locations, including staff who travel or work remotely. Netskope specialists support the setup through Telefonica Tech’s Security Operations Centres, with professional and managed services available for deployment and day-to-day operation. Telefonica Tech positions Security Edge as part of its wider portfolio aimed at supporting corporate digital transformation projects.
