Telefónica Tech Partners with Wiz to Boost Cloud Security
Telefónica Tech, the digital business arm of Telefónica, has announced a significant partnership with Wiz, a global leader in cloud security solutions.
The collaboration aims to reshape the landscape of cloud security for businesses across Spain, enabling organisations to confidently embrace and manage multi-cloud environments with enhanced protection and efficiency.
Integrating Wiz’s advanced platform into Telefónica Tech’s portfolio
Under the terms of the alliance, Telefónica Tech will integrate the Wiz cloud security platform into its comprehensive suite of cloud security services.
The partnership aims to deliver robust incident detection and response capabilities to customers, ensuring that organisations can safeguard all assets developed and operated in multi-cloud environments.
In addition to the technology integration, Telefónica Tech will offer professional services designed to support clients throughout their cloud journey. From initial implementation to continuous 24/7 monitoring, these services are tailored to guarantee uninterrupted protection for applications as they transition to and operate within the cloud.
Comprehensive visibility and proactive protection
Wiz’s platform is recognised as a leading Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), offering complete visibility into complex cloud environments.
The platform excels in identifying critical risks and vulnerabilities, empowering development and security teams to proactively secure applications from the coding phase right through to execution in the cloud.
A key strength of Wiz lies in its ability to contextualise threats, allowing organisations to prioritise and remediate the most pressing issues efficiently. The capability not only blocks unauthorised access but significantly enhances the overall security posture of any enterprise operating in the cloud.
Simplifying security management in multi-cloud environments
The strategic alliance marks a pivotal expansion of Telefónica Tech’s cloud security services. By leveraging Wiz’s technology, Telefónica Tech is addressing two key challenges facing modern enterprises: simplifying security management across multi-cloud infrastructures and removing security-related barriers to cloud adoption.
Most organisations today are pursuing multi-cloud strategies to drive efficiency and accelerate the development of innovative use cases.
However, security concerns often remain a significant obstacle. The combined strengths of Telefónica Tech and Wiz aim to remove these barriers, enabling faster and safer adoption of cloud technologies in the business sector.
Industry leaders comment on the partnership
