Telecom Fiji has partnered with Advantage New Zealand to enhance its cybersecurity product portfolio through a Managed Detection and Response service powered by SentinelOne technology.
SentinelOne is an advanced cybersecurity software that detects and stops cyber threats like ransomware in real time before they cause damage.
Through Managed Detection and Response and this partnership with Advantage, Telecom Fiji will be able to provide real-time 24/7 x 365 cyber threat detection, response and mitigation services supported by Artificial Intelligence and human expertise keeping its customers digital assets secure.
Head of ICT at Telecom Fiji Shalvin Narayan says in the event of an adverse cybersecurity incident, confidentiality, integrity, and availability are all potentially impacted.
He says digital information and connectivity today are essential for business and society, so their duty to every customer is to maintain systems and networks with the highest possible confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Narayan says this ensures the continuous delivery of digital services and business operations that aren’t impacted by online threats.
He adds that Telecom Fiji’s partnership with Advantage was based on its proven capabilities and reputation, including ISO 270001 certification and multiple industry awards, such as being named SentinelOne APJ Partner of the Year on several occasions.
MDR is one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity services as organizations look to identify and fend off threats before breaches cause interruption, damage, or loss.
Gartner, Inc. has predicted that 50 percent of all enterprises will have adopted MDR services for their cybersecurity by 2025, while Fortune Business Insights has indicated that the global market size was valued at US$1.56 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to US$8.59 billion by 2032 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 20.8 percent.
Advantage Auckland regional manager Steve Smith says SentinelOne has been named a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Endpoint Protection four years in a row.
He says this technology is a core component of our AdvantageProtect MDR service, which provides protection against the escalating threat of data loss and disruption from security breaches.
Smith says Telecom Fiji combines SentinelOne’ s Singularity artificial intelligence platform with the human insight and skill of our cybersecurity professionals with the goal of the earliest possible identification, triage, and elimination of threats across every element of the enterprise.
This includes continuous monitoring of endpoints, servers, identities, networks, cloud workloads, and other digital assets.
Smith says the telecommunications leader is among a growing number of clients outside New Zealand being ably served by Advantage.
Service quality is of course paramount – but coming a close second is the ease with which essential services can be added.
Telecom has seen Advantage’s capabilities through the on-boarding and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial engagement.
