These measures include endpoint protection for servers, workstations, virtual desktop infrastructure, vulnerability services, proxy management and web internet protection services.

As a result, Kyndryl will scan and identify vulnerabilities in end customer servers, virtual machines, network devices, firewalls and endpoint device in a bid to minimise business operation disruptions.

The move builds on the relationship established in 2018.

Since then, the companies have evolved their collaboration to address the needs of various industries, focusing on infrastructure, cloud and security services.

Vodafone Business, Head of Sales, Finance and Insurance, Sascha Roeber, said: “We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Kyndryl and further enhance the security posture of our financial industry clients.

“By combining our respective strengths and resources, we are well-positioned to deliver comprehensive security services to our customers.”

Kyndryl, Vice President of Industrial and Consumer, Alexander Steineck, added: “At Kyndryl, we are dedicated to helping our customers navigate within the ever-growing cybersecurity challenges.

“We are excited to collaborate with Vodafone in Germany to provide advanced security and resiliency services that address the evolving threat landscape and empower our customers to achieve their business objectives.”
