(PRESS RELEASE) MADRID, 14-Dec-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Telefónica (BME: TEF), a Spanish multinational telecommunications company, announces that Telefónica Tech, a leader in technology services, is expanding its cyber intelligence services to empower companies with a proactive defense against cyber threats. The company has introduced a comprehensive cyber intelligence service aimed at bolstering the cybersecurity defenses of large enterprises. This service focuses on enhancing the identification, communication, and mitigation of security risks to fortify organizations against evolving threats.

Telefónica Tech’s new offering delivers expert guidance and real-time intelligence, covering all aspects of cyber threat analysis. This empowers security managers within organizations to anticipate, detect, and defend against even the most sophisticated cyber threats.

Cyber threat intelligence is a critical discipline within the cybersecurity realm, converting data into actionable insights that answer key questions about how, where, by whom, and why cybercriminals operate. According to Brand Essence Research, the global cyber threat intelligence market is projected to reach $26.15 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.96% between 2021 and 2028.

Telefónica Tech’s advanced cyber intelligence service is a part of the NextDefense managed services, offering businesses robust cyber resilience. It provides a range of products tailored to the maturity level of companies and the profiles of professionals using it:

1. Tactical Intelligence: Focused on immediate threats, this product requires integration into customers’ security appliances for automated threat detection and response.
2. Operational Intelligence: Provides insights into cyber attackers’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), aiding security teams in adapting to evolving attack patterns.
3. Strategic Intelligence: At the highest level, this offers long-term cyber security insights, including threat landscapes, emerging trends, and potential impact assessments.

Telefónica Tech delivers the cyber intelligence service through its Digital Operations Center (DOC), operating in Spain and Colombia. The DOC houses a diverse team of professionals with various specializations, including cyber intelligence analysts, criminologists, linguists, and more. They collaborate to identify, analyze, and mitigate threats and incidents.

The company has the capability to process and generate threat intelligence internally and also has access to various external sources, tools, and technologies for comprehensive assessments. Telefónica Tech is a member of the Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA) and collaborates with the Spanish National SOC Network (RNS).

With 24/7 monitoring, Telefónica Tech ensures real-time threat identification and response, tailoring customized solutions to each client’s specific needs and risk profiles.

Alberto Sempere, Director of Services, Innovation, and Partnerships at Telefónica Tech, stated, “Understanding cyber attackers and profiling their activities has become essential for organizations to anticipate and detect threats not covered by traditional defenses. We are committed to providing our customers with advanced and effective solutions to protect their critical data and assets.
