Crime analytics software company Wynyard Group has signed Telstra as its foundation customer for its Advanced Cyber Threat Analytics (ACTA) solution, which according to the company, discovers cyberthreats inside a network aimed at preventing infiltration.
The three-year, AU$3.2 million deal will see the New Zealand-based Wynyard charged with protecting high consequence cyberthreats against the telco giant.
According to Telstra CISO Mike Burgess, Telstra will leverage ACTA to identify anomalies and unusual patterns within the network which he said will provide the telco with a deeper understanding through the discovery of previously unknown threats.
“ACTA will provide Telstra with a powerful intelligence and analytics platform that will allow us to quickly identify and explore key cyberthreats and to contain those first seen cyber issues before they become a serious breach,” Burgess said.
“A data analytics capability that identifies true ‘unknown-unknowns’ should be a fundamental part of any organisation’s cyber defence.”
Telstra has been trialling the ACTA technology over the past year. For the full article click here
