Bell has officially launched Bell Cyber, a new brand complementing its growing AI-powered technology solutions business, alongside Ateko and Bell AI Fabric.
Announced at the inaugural Bell Cybersecurity Summit in Toronto, Bell says Bell Cyber helps advance its goal of becoming the country’s “most trusted Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP).”
The new brand promises to offer next generation Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS), “combining Bell’s internal security platforms, telco-grade infrastructure and resiliency DNA with real-time threat detection and advanced Security Operations Centre (SOC) capabilities.”
Also announced at the summit was Bell Cyber’s new autonomous SOC, purported to use AI and automation to detect and contain threats in under five minutes. Its announcement noted that its SECaaS platform is hosted on a secure, Canadian cloud, ensuring customer data is housed, governed and managed entirely within Canada “offering peace of mind amid growing geopolitical uncertainty and increasingly sophisticated threat actors.”
“Today we celebrate the launch of Bell Cyber, a big milestone we’ve been working on for our customers. Leveraging Ateko and Bell AI Fabric solutions, Bell Cyber is a central pillar of our strategy to lead in Enterprise with AI-powered solutions,” said John Watson, Group President of Bell Business Markets (BBM), AI and Ateko. “This announcement is an investment in the security of our customers and our country, strengthening our ability to protect enterprises and institutions in an increasingly complex threat landscape.”
Bell Cyber partners include Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Microsoft and Fortinet.
