MTN and Cloudflare Partner to Launch Managed Security Services in South Africa
MTN Business and Cloudflare have joined forces, making MTN the first local Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) for Cloudflare in South Africa. This strategic alliance brings Cloudflare’s powerful network security and identity-focused controls to the South African market within a managed service framework. MTN will be responsible for operating, monitoring, integrating, and billing the solution, offering organizations across the country a streamlined and comprehensive security solution. This partnership is a significant step in bolstering cybersecurity infrastructure for businesses in South Africa, particularly those grappling with evolving digital threats.
Key Features: Application-Layer Protection and Zero Trust Access
The newly launched managed security service provides a robust defense against modern cyber threats. Crucially, the solution offers application-layer protection, safeguarding and accelerating web services. Furthermore, the service incorporates Zero Trust access controls. This critical feature meticulously regulates access to resources based on a variety of factors, including user identity, device security posture, and the surrounding contextual situation. This multi-layered approach ensures that only authorized users with compliant devices can access sensitive data and applications, significantly reducing the attack surface and minimizing the risk of breaches. This is crucial for businesses in South Africa, as cyber threats are on the rise.
In conclusion, the collaboration between MTN and Cloudflare marks an important development in South Africa’s cybersecurity landscape. By providing a managed service that simplifies security management, improves performance, and offers scalable protection, MTN and Cloudflare are empowering South African businesses to proactively defend themselves against evolving cyber threats and build a resilient digital future.
