Liquid Telecom unveils cyber security unit amid surge of cases

Liquid Telecom has unveiled a cyber security unit that offers end-to-end managed services.

"The offering is designed to protect customers at every intersection of their business,” said Liquid Telecom in a statement.

The company said cyber attacks are "a real and imminent threat to businesses and their end-users", as highlighted by a survey commissioned in August by the firm.

Of those surveyed, 57 per cent said they have seen an increase in threats over the Covid-19 pandemic period, with the report concluding that there are rising concerns over the security of data and financial implications of a security breach.

While many employees across the continent are returning to work, organisations are embracing a hybrid model of digital and onsite working. As such there are increasing concerns over the security of data, shadow IT, and the financial implications of a security breach.

Liquid Telecom said that it is leveraging on its decades of knowledge to offer solutions that can address the key concerns of IT decision-makers, by securing businesses effectively to increase productivity.
