Staying secure in telecommunication’s new digital era
DXC provides telecommunications companies with end-to-end security solutions for protecting assets and customer data.
Technology advances such as 5G and the internet of things (IoT) are transforming telecommunications companies from communication service providers to digital service providers. For telecommunications companies to thrive in this new digital
era, they must implement reliable security solutions that can protect businesscritical assets and safeguard customer data.
DXC’s security capabilities include:
- 3500+ security professionals
- 12 worldwide Security Operations Centers
- 24/7 security coverage across five continents
- Vendor-agnostic advisor
- Prime security integrator
Companies that succeed will deliver effective “digital first” customer experiences, but to do that they will have to collect, store and process vast amounts of sensitive information, making data protection a top priority.
That job, however, is complicated by emerging 5G network technology, which changes the security calculus by introducing architectural complexity compared to 4G, and vastly increasing the attack surface.
What’s more, 5G will be an enabler of many new services and solutions. For example, 5G is expected to be a key connectivity option for IoT devices in machine-to-machine networks, but many IoT endpoints lack robust security controls, further magnifying the security challenge. In addition, companies must contend with the increased security requirements associated with offering enhanced data services and mobile commerce.
