Fujitsu recognised a leader in Australian cyber security

Fujitsu has been recognised as a leader in Australian cyber security by research and advisory firm ISG.

The company was recognised for technical security services, managed security services, and strategic security services.

Fujitsu's strengths were identified as having strong technical capabilities, a focus on getting the basics right, and the provision of contract CISOs to manage security services and incidents in each account Fujitsu's Cyber Resilience Centre in Canberra contributed to the strong result in the managed security services quadrant

"With approximately 25 players in each area, this is a strong result for Fujitsu and demonstrates its excellence across the cyber security landscape," the company says.

"Fujitsu's experience in the mid to large enterprise segments gives it a high level of credibility in the rapidly evolving technical security services market, and positions it well for developing new business," says Michael Gale, partner, ISG.

"Fujitsu applies its strong capabilities in the areas of data center services, public/private/hybrid cloud and large-scale managed services for expanding its local security operations centre.

"The company is well positioned to serve new businesses in the managed security services market in Australia," he says.

"Fujitsu's global structure allows a high degree of local autonomy, enabling flexibility in terms of meeting specific client requirements for cyber security services in Australia.
