In a significant move to bolster cloud security, Telefónica Tech has announced a strategic partnership with Wiz, a cloud security leader. This collaboration aims to enhance security management for organizations navigating multi-cloud environments across Spain.
Telefónica Tech plans to integrate Wiz’s comprehensive Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) into its existing portfolio. The platform offers advanced security features, including incident detection, response capabilities, and continuous monitoring to safeguard applications during their transition to the cloud.
Wiz’s platform ensures complete visibility into cloud environments, crucially identifying risks and vulnerabilities. By enabling preventative measures, security and development teams can efficiently prioritize and address threats from the development stage to full cloud deployment. This ability to contextualize threats strengthens an organization’s security framework by blocking unauthorized access.
The strategic alliance seeks to ease security management complexities in multi-cloud setups. As Telefónica Tech expands its capabilities, the collaboration with Wiz helps address significant security barriers, which often hinder faster cloud adoption by businesses. Alberto Sempere of Telefónica Tech remarks, “The alliance with Wiz allows us to complement our cloud security services offering in the current context, marked by the massive adoption of artificial intelligence, and offer customers an automated platform with which to optimize the protection of their assets hosted in the cloud and the prevention of cyberattacks.”
Eventually, this partnership could play a pivotal role in easing organizations’ transition to multi-cloud systems. Organizations stand to gain from a service that not only simplifies the adoption process but also intensifies protection against escalating cyber threats.
Wiz is already a trusted name among over 50% of Fortune 100 companies and is poised to extend its impact throughout the European and Latin American markets. Tomás Carbonell of Wiz highlights this momentum as he states, “It is an honor to consolidate this alliance between Wiz and Telefónica Tech at a key moment for the industry, marked by the rise of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and the accelerated adoption of the cloud.”
