GTT boosts its security offerings

GTT Communications is rolling out the following enhancements to its fully managed cloud-and premise-based cybersecurity service offerings for enterprises: 

  • GTT MDR: New heightened service-level agreement (SLA) for GTT’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR), assuring enterprises with 24/7 threat monitoring and ongoing assurance that investigations will take place within 15 minutes. The service combines Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technology with human intelligence to provide enterprises with 24/7 threat monitoring and ongoing assurance that investigations will take place within 15 minutes. 
  • GTT DDoS Mitigation: New standard service option for enterprises with dedicated DDoS Mitigation infrastructure to augment and uplift their network security to help protect against the effects of large-scale/complex attacks. The service detects DDoS attacks targeting customers’ networks and directs internet traffic to the closest of GTT’s 10 global DDoS scrubbing centers, where any malicious traffic is dropped while legitimate traffic is allowed to flow unimpeded to its destination with little to no added latency.

“As cyberthreats continue to grow in scale and complexity, managed and professional services can help enterprises both overcome the cyber skills gap and strike the right balance between risk management, cost and performance,” said Todd Kiehn, senior vice president of Strategy & Product, GTT. “We recognize that flexibility and speed are key to how enterprises can build out successful and adaptable network security strategies. Our new heightened SLA for MDR ensures customers that any security issues triggering an alert are investigated within 15 minutes to rapidly identify potential threats.”
