AVASANT ANALYST INSIGHTS
Practice Maturity
- Last year, AT&T formed an independent security division, AT&T Cybersecurity, which included AlienVault, AT&T Cybersecurity Consulting, and AT&T Managed Security Services. It focuses on 5 security solutions: network and cloud, endpoint solutions, identity and access management (IAM), threat detection and response, and cyberstrategy risk and consulting.
- AT&T Cybersecurity introduced a new managed threat detection and response service that leverages AlienVault technology and threat intelligence along with the capabilities of AT&T’s security operations center (SOC) and managed services.
- It has 8 SOCs and around 2,000 security experts. Every week, these Cybersecurity teams typically help to mitigate 700 distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
- To enhance the threat detection controls, AT&T Cybersecurity integrated Box’s cloud content management feature into its unified security management (USM) platform.
Partnership Ecosystem
- AT&T continues to expand its cybersecurity partner program and recently enrolled VirtualArmour, a cybersecurity managed services provider. The integration of their platforms enhanced threat management capability and provided cross-selling opportunities to their respective customers.

This followed with the hiring A/NZ MSSP channel sales manager, to grow in Australia and New Zealand markets. AT&T also partnered with Fujitsu in Japan and initiated building a team in Singapore.
