- T‑Sys Envisions greener future; Telekom Security installs new security architecture for powertrain solutions specialist Vitesco.
- T‑Systems (T‑Sys) partnered Envision Digital to reduce CO2 emissions in Germany. The collaboration will see T‑Sys’s Sovereign Cloud supporting Envision’s EnOSTM Net Zero (EnOS) platform, utilising artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology to deliver “up to 15% less energy consumption and a correspondingly reduced CO2 footprint”, according to the partners. In addition to reducing consumption, the partnership aims to optimise the use of renewable energy, with EnOS integrating weather modelling and forecasting tools to maximise the energy efficiency of infrastructure and operations. Following an ongoing pilot project in Germany, T‑Sys and Envision intend to “expand their cooperation to other industries and customers globally”, according to T‑Sys. Sovereign Cloud is the first tangible result from the strategic partnership announced between T‑Sys and Google Cloud in August 2021, targeted at enterprises in regulated industries, such as finance, healthcare, and the public sector, in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) — Deutsche Telekomwatch, #107, #112, and #116.
- Telekom Security (T‑Sec) set up what it called a “new security architecture” for drivetrain and powertrain technology provider Vitesco Technologies, utilising its Security Operations Center (SOC). According to T‑Sec, the SOC bundles together two services for Vitesco: Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR). Ostensibly, SIEM compiles security logs from multiple sources and analyses them. If the data corresponds to “certain predefined detection scenarios”, alarms are triggered and forwarded to the SOAR team at T‑Sec. The SOC was opened in Madrid in June 2019 (Deutsche Telekomwatch, #84). According to T‑Sec, approximately 200 security experts monitor DT’s systems, with more than 3,000 data sources being analysed “almost fully automatically” as part of a 24‑hour operation.
- Deutsche Telekom tied with long‑time security partner Palo Alto Networks to provide a managed secure service edge service, focused on organisations moving to cloud network and hybrid work infrastructure. The solution is underpinned by Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access solution and provides access control policies based on Zero Trust Network Access. Thomas Fetten, Chief Executive of T-Sec, said “our clearly defined set of advisory services, combined with our broad range of managed service options built around the Palo Alto platform, means we can give organisations both the guidance and the capabilities they need to secure their enterprise”.
- Internal corporate communications software provider Haiilo confirmed it will migrate to T‑Sys’s Sovereign Cloud powered by Google Cloud “in the future”. A scalable IT platform for the platform, which is used by Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Bahn, was said to have been sought for some time. “Maximum security is mandatory”, said Kevin Hähnlein, Head of Product Marketing at Haiilo, “because some of our solutions are among our customers’ business-critical applications”.
