Beyond Technology: Tailored Cybersecurity Services

This partnership goes beyond software integration—Telefónica Tech is also introducing professional services to support clients throughout their cloud security journey. From initial deployment to continuous monitoring and maintenance, the aim is to make security an enabler of innovation, not a barrier. With round-the-clock monitoring and expert support, the service offers organizations the confidence to adopt, scale, and operate in the cloud—especially vital for sectors managing multiple cloud platforms, legacy infrastructure, and strict compliance demands.

wiz: An Emerging Leader in Cloud-Native Security

Wiz, recently recognized as a leader in Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) and soon to be acquired by Google, brings a modern, proactive approach to cybersecurity. Its platform offers comprehensive visibility across complex cloud environments, enabling developers and security teams to detect and address vulnerabilities quickly.

What sets Wiz apart is its ability to provide context for each issue, allowing teams to prioritize and respond to the most critical threats efficiently, strengthening overall security.

Tomás Carbonell, Vice President of EMEA and LATAM at Wiz, emphasized the significance of the alliance with Telefónica Tech, noting that it comes at a pivotal time for the industry amid rising cybersecurity concerns, AI adoption, and cloud growth. He highlighted the partnership’s unique value—combining Wiz’s cutting-edge technology with Telefónica Tech’s regional expertise to protect cloud-native environments. With over 50% of Fortune 100 companies already onboard, Wiz is poised to expand its impact across Europe and LATAM.

Addressing the Multi-Cloud Security Challenge

Today, most businesses operate across multiple cloud platforms, offering innovation but also adding complexity. Managing security across diverse providers can become challenging and hinder digital transformation. By combining Telefónica Tech’s strong regional expertise with Wiz’s advanced, unified platform, this partnership tackles these issues directly. Their goal is to eliminate cybersecurity obstacles to cloud adoption, particularly in industries where security concerns have slowed IT progress.

Setting a New Standard for Enterprise Cybersecurity

This partnership goes beyond safeguarding infrastructure—it aims to drive innovation by eliminating barriers and fears around security. In an era defined by AI, expanding data, and increasing cyber risks, Telefónica Tech and Wiz are helping enterprises redefine the standards of effective cloud security [2]. With Wiz trusted by over half of the Fortune 100 and Telefónica Tech’s strong presence across Europe and LATAM, this collaboration has the potential to extend well beyond Spain, establishing a new benchmark for intelligent, scalable cybersecurity in the AI-driven cloud landscape.
