BT has been named as a leader in the IDC MarketScape: European Managed Security Services 2022 Vendor Assessment report. BT’s security team provides solutions to consumers, governments and businesses around the world and protects the company’s global network against around 200,000 cyberattacks per month. The placement reflects BT’s ‘combination of pan-European network assets and proven experience and capabilities in security’.
BT was recognised for its ability to seamlessly integrate its security portfolio with wider network and cloud solutions and for its wider emphasis on security innovation and partnerships across leading academic and research institutions. Its recent investment in Safe Security was also highlighted, as its risk assessment and prediction capabilities were seen as becoming increasingly important, considering recent supply chain attacks, such as SolarWinds.
Last year, BT launched its transformational new cyberdefence platform ‘Eagle-i’, which incorporates AI to advance the speed and capability of its security operations. The IDC MarketScape report stated that the use of proprietary technology in Eagle-i and the platform’s ability to draw on threat intelligence from BT’s extensive European network infrastructure ‘makes it hard to match precisely by other MSSPs (Managed Security Service Providers)’.
