Ciena and Colt have announced a partnership to extend Colt's portfolio of managed security services. The two companies will enrich the performance, reliability and security of Colt's managed High Speed Services portfolio with integrated wire-speed encryption capabilities from Ciena's Packet-Optical Transport portfolio, enabling Colt's enterprise customers to secure and protect their critical business information and intellectual property.
"With increasing numbers of our customers focused on regulatory compliance and mitigating security breaches, especially in sectors such as financial services or government, we're seeing enormous growth of interest in high-speed, encrypted data connectivity services. Our new partnership with Ciena allows Colt to further extend our managed security portfolio and gives us the opportunity to exploit the advantage of a low-latency, integrated encryption solution." said Stefano Maifreni, Solutions Manager, Managed Networking, Enterprise Services, Colt.
"With enterprises placing more value on the security of their intellectual property and data there is an opportunity to help them safeguard critical data for compliancy requirements, to maintain the integrity of firms' business models and protect the companies' brands. The unique encryption capabilities offered by Ciena's 5000 Series give operators like Colt the opportunity to take early share in the growing security-oriented networking market and quickly establish competitive advantage, allowing them to attract new customers in key vertical sectors such as finance, healthcare, military, government or education," said Peter Newcombe, vice president, sales, Northern and Eastern Europe, Ciena.
