Tieto grows its ecosystem within Security Services. By using Symantec services in its offerings Tieto’s gives its customers’ an access to an industry leading threat intelligence network and over 1 000 security professionals that detect and predict global cyber-attacks 24/7.

Cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated – and they know no borders. Typically companies experience 2 - 4 targeted attacks per year* and increasingly need to be more prepared and agile.

To detect incidents and take appropriate action fast, Tieto expands its Security Operations Centre, an end-to-end security operation centre solution, with the intent to include Symantec global security monitoring. The new service helps to reduce risks and improve visibility by correlating customer’s local data with global threat intelligence. When integrated into Tieto’s extensive portfolio of security services, the new service increases ability to detect and respond to incidents early and more efficiently.

“Tieto Security Services start-up actively teams up with other market-leading solution providers to create an agile global security ecosystem to bring world leading technology competencies to our customers in the Nordic market,” says Markus Melin Head of Security Services at Tieto.

“We will combine managed security services and highly skilled local security expertise from Tieto together with Symantec’s global security monitoring services.When integrated into Tieto’s extensive portfolio of security services, our customers can better predict security attacks, minimize the impacts and speed up response time to ensure business continuity,” continues Melin.

With the new ecosystem partner Tieto integrates threat intelligence from Symantec’s industry leading Global Intelligence Network, which is made up of more than 63.8 million attack sensors and records thousands of events per second. This network monitors threat activity in over 157 countries and territories worldwide. In addition, Tieto gets access to a network of over 1000 security analysts and research professionals in six Security Operations Centers and 11 Security Response Centers around the world.

“Adding Symantec offerings to our Security Services ecosystem offers us unparalleled visibility of the evolving threat landscape to identify and block new and emerging threats. With our partners’ technology solutions, we will get timely, relevant, actionable data about emerging global threats, threat sources and vulnerabilities. As a long-time partner of customers operating in several industries in the Nordic, Tieto has an excellent opportunity to translate the global threats into measurable actions and offer faster and more proactive response and incident management to our clients in the Nordic market,” concludes Melin.

“We are excited to partner with Tieto on this new service to the Nordic market. The service should help Tieto’s customers both report incidents as required by the new EU privacy regulation (GDPR), which will come into force in May 2018, and quickly detect and prioritize any security incidents in order to protect their customers businesses” says Gabriel Silfverhjelm, Nordic Regional Director at Symantec.
