Kudelski Security will protect data and analytics against cyber threats

The Kudelski Group has launched a Cyber Security division that goes beyond being a pure technology security offering and provides tailored cyber security solutions and services to media companies as well as enterprises, financial institutions and government administrations. The new division is called Kudelski Security and the initial focus is on Europe, although the offer will be expanded worldwide afterwards, including for existing media customers.

Kudelski Security is initially focusing on assisting companies to assess risk and vulnerabilities in order to ensure privacy and confidentiality of their data and analytics as they move their business processes and applications in a cloud dependent ecosystem. The offer will include monitoring the evolution of the threats and keeping consumer data secured while access to data becomes more dynamic and mobile through new consumer devices like smartphones and tablets.
Kudelski Security combines technological know-how and legal expertise, compliance, field investigation and crisis communication into a new type of global ‘Cyber Alert Response Squad’, the Kudelski Group says. The global reach and multi-disciplinary incident response is reinforced by strategic international partnerships.

The Kudelski Security core team has 80 dedicated security experts with field-proven electronic defence and response capabilities and the plan is to expand this team progressively. This team also has access to over 1,000 security experts in other Kudelski Group divisions.

“Having dealt with security for a few decades and having fought piracy on behalf of our customers for the last 20 years, we have developed an unmatched talent pool with a unique skillset that we want to leverage by offering a new protection paradigm to anyone exposed on the Internet,” comments André Kudelski, CEO of the Kudelski Group. “In an increasingly connected world, companies, families and individuals are all targeted by the new cyber threats and action is needed now.”
