Capgemini has introduced a consolidated security service called Cybersecurity Global Service Line, integrating its expertise in cyber security.

The service line includes 2,500 consultants, ethical hackers, auditors, architects, and R&D specialists from the company, along with its network of five Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and technology partners.

The new portfolio is designed to allow organisations to use SMACT technologies (social, mobile, analytics, cloud and internet of things) in a better way and embrace the digital transformation.

According to the company, its Cybersecurity Global Service Line is designed to address the security issues related to IT systems, IoT products, and OT systems.

A study of vendors providing IoT technology conducted by Capgemini Consulting showed that 70% of organisations agreed that "security concerns influence customer purchasing decisions for IoT devices", while 33% considered IoT products resilient to threat.

Capgemini Cybersecurity Global Head Franck Greverie said: "We are developing a full portfolio of cybersecurity services to enable organisations to protect themselves against cyberattacks and internal malicious behavior for IT, industrial systems and IoT products."

"To many executives cybersecurity is a mystery, which is often why it is an afterthought. The increasing number of external interfaces means that enterprise data is more accessible and therefore more prone to attack."

"Capgemini’s new consolidated offer will enable organizations to embed security at the beginning of their digital transformation journey, covering the cybersecurity spectrum from the infrastructure and endpoints right through to the protection of applications, users and data."

The Global Service Line will develop packaged services across countries and will also introduce Identity and Access Management as a service and Application Security Testing as a service.
