Optus has announced a partnership with Devo Technology to bring a managed threat monitoring for enterprise and mid-market customers in Australia, with round-the-clock service and insights into organisations' security postures.
The Devo Technology offering uses real-time analytics, artificial intelligence, and intelligent automation, and will be alongside Optus' network operations centre (NOC) and security operation centre (SOC), for enhanced customer protection.
It provides managed threat monitoring service that integrates security information and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation and response.
User and entity behaviour analytics through artificial intelligence and machine learning also form part of the Devo developed solution.
It analyses logs from network-connected devices and global threat intelligence, creating security alert tickets in Optus' AI-enabled ITSM Nucleus platform in near real-time.
"We know how critical cybersecurity continues to be and the importance of continuing to invest in new technology particularly as the threat landscape continues to evolve.
Optus partners with many of the best security vendors in the world to ensure our enterprise customers have the support they need to act quickly and identify threats," Danny Price, vice persident of delivery, enterprise and business at Optus, said.
"Optus is proud to call a number of Australia's largest organisations and government agencies customers," Price added.
"As the global threat landscape continues to expand at an unprecedented pace, it's critical that organisations have the right technology, people, and processes in place to combat cybercrime and keep their businesses safe", Nicky Choo, Devo's vice president of Asia Pacific added.
The partnership comes as cybercrime reports in Australia increased by 23 per cent in the 2022-2023 financial year compared to the previous year, according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC).
