This will help protect enterprise customers from data loss and the growing number of sophisticated threats in cloud, web and personal applications, with all the attributes of a cloud-native platform.
The co-managed solution will reduce complexity for businesses and provide continuously updated cloud security via Orange Business Services’ Telco Cloud platform. The Telco Cloud Platform is a revolution in the way networks are built, operated and managed with improved performance. The software-defined approach, optimized for telecom workloads, enables greater agility and reduced costs.
