Optus partners with Cisco to enhance network security and data protection services for customers



Optus, an Australian telecommunications company, has partnered with Cisco, a US digital technology multinational, to enhance network security and data services for its enterprise and commercial customers dealing with the challenges of hybrid workforces. As a growing number of Australians work remotely, organisations are adopting public and on-demand SaaS services, leading to increased security vulnerabilities. The partnership will involve expanding Optus’ Network Operations Centre and Security Operations Centre to provide secure network design and managed services for customers. The collaboration will offer 24/7 security monitoring, with additional services and capabilities to be added over the course of the partnership. The platform, powered by Cisco, will deliver secure services such as firewall and managed secure edge services, as well as vulnerability management, email security, identity intelligence, and threat hunting. The goal is to provide scalable and reliable secure network services to help businesses manage cybersecurity risks. The partnership aims to deliver innovative solutions for businesses to address complex challenges and support growth while managing risks in an ever-evolving digital landscape. This initiative was initially featured in the CommsWire newsletter subscription on July 9, 2024. For organizations looking to promote their webinars, iTWire offers comprehensive advertising packages that include promotion on their news site, newsletter, and video interviews on iTWire TV. As lockdown restrictions ease, iTWire is committed to assisting with webinar campaigns and providing support through various packages and programs. Businesses can reach out to iTWire to discuss their campaign goals and explore available options for webinar promotion and support.
