BT has made a multi-million pound investment in Safe Security, Silicon Valley-based cyber risk management company, to support its global cyber security growth plans.
Safe Security has developed a platform called SAFE (Security Assessment Framework for Enterprises), which allows organisations to conduct a health check of their cyber defences and gain an insight into the likelihood of suffering a serious attack. BT will combine the SAFE platform with its managed security services to provide global customers with an enhanced, real-time view of their cyber threat level.
The investment will give BT exclusive rights to use and sell SAFE to businesses and public sector organisations in the UK, and across its wider global offering. BT will become the recommended global partner for improving an organisation's SAFE score, and will work with Safe Security on development of future products.
