AT&T Cybersecurity rated 'very strong' in GlobalData report
GlobalData, an independent data analytics company covering technology and business, has published its annual product assessment report for Global Managed Security Services (MSS). GlobalData has named our new AT&T Cybersecurity division ‘Very Strong’ across all seven areas reviewed. This is the third consecutive year GlobalData has ranked AT&T as ‘Very Strong’ for Global Managed Security Services.
AT&T recently acquired cybersecurity vendor, AlienVault, to offer a robust threat detection and response service, supported by continuously updated threat intelligence delivered by AT&T Alien Labs. In February of this year, AT&T merged our Cybersecurity Consulting and Managed Security Services units with AlienVault to create a new division, AT&T Cybersecurity. With the technical capabilities of AlienVault’s Unified Security Management platform and the power of the highly-reliable AT&T network and AT&T consulting services, the new cybersecurity unit integrates best-of-breed technologies with unrivaled network visibility and curated threat intelligence from AT&T Alien Labs researchers.
