Symantec Corp, a leading security, storage, backup and software services provider, in alliance with Deloitte, a top professional services firm, has announced an innovative cyber threat vulnerability management service. The integrated offering will pair Symantec’s cyber intelligence and information protection technologies with Deloitte’s consulting services to help businesses address concerns around cyber security and information protection. The alliance will focus on growth markets across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with the Middle East as a priority region given it is a hub of targeted cyber-crime activity. The emergence of sophisticated cyber threats has resulted in the need for managed cyber security services that can help protect organisations and their assets from round-the-clock attacks. The impact following a data breach or security threat can have major consequences, damaging a business and brand reputation overnight. The unprecedented growth in digital communications, fuelled by the rise of mobile devices has made information management top of the agenda for today’s C-level executives. The latest cyber security technologies, training, skills and management all require ongoing investment that can be expensive and a drain on business resources. Symantec and Deloitte’s alliance will enable companies to outsource their cyber security to experts in the field for both technology and consulting services. As part of the alliance, Deloitte’s enterprise risk services will be powered by Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Managed Security Services (MSS) technologies. The services are managed by Deloitte consultants who will oversee the data lifecycle for the customer, offering a resilient incident management and response programme. Threat alerts are remotely monitored and analysed via Deloitte’s Cyber Intelligence Centres, housing a full scale team of incident response experts and ethical hackers. The Cyber Intelligence Centres’ build bespoke risk profiles and in the process, effectively develop an efficient and customised security operations centre for a business.
