GTT enhances portfolio of Managed Security Services

GTT Communications, a leading global cloud networking provider to multinational clients, announced it has enhanced its portfolio of managed security services. Leveraging Fortinet’s next-generation Security Fabric, GTT is now able to deliver more advanced software-defined capabilities, including unified threat prevention (UTP), which integrates a range of security features, such as application control, web filtering, antivirus, data loss prevention and intrusion detection and prevention.

Additionally, GTT has added Managed Detection and Response capabilities to its security service portfolio, which provides comprehensive security coverage for cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. The feature set includes an advanced security tool suite, with Machine Learning behavioural analytics, embedded threat intelligence and 24/7 security monitoring and incident response, managed by GTT’s certified security experts in its global Security Operation Centres. 

GTT’s expanded managed security service capabilities provide enterprises with comprehensive network security, as cybersecurity risks and threats continue to increase due to the rise in remote work and rapid adoption of cloud services. In combination with GTT’s SD-WAN capabilities, the new security services deliver a simple, secure and scalable solution that improves application performance, reduces cost of ownership and increases networking agility. 

“We recognise that network security is a high priority for our customers in 2021,” said Don MacNeil, GTT COO. “GTT is focused on providing managed security service capabilities that reduce complexity and assure the security of anytime, anywhere access to applications and services, which is an essential digital business requirement demanded by our customers.”
