The Challenge:
The telecommunications sector is viewed as one of the most vulnerable to cyber attacks. Given the sheer volume of personal and sensitive data carriers hold, it is now more important than ever for telecommunications companies to understand exactly what data they have, where it resides and how it is secured, all while meeting evolving compliance regulations. Customer loyalty is reliant on keeping data secure — the barrier to change providers is low, and is easily overcome in the face of a breach: recent data from IBM shows breaches cost telecommunications providers $3.01M on average.
Beyond customer information, telecommunications providers have to secure the same type of sensitive data as most enterprises, such as information on employees, suppliers and partners.
