MTN Business – Comprehensive cybersecurity made simple
Cyber threats in South Africa are constantly evolving, and companies that have sub-par cybersecurity are vulnerable to attacks.
These attacks have drastic and costly consequences, ranging from disrupting your operations to loss of essential data.
Therefore, a holistic security approach is essential for not only surviving, but thriving in the modern business landscape.
MTN Business understands this and has partnered with a wide range of leading global brands to offer comprehensive protection to its clients.
This includes its landmark partnership with Cloudflare, which allows MTN Business to offer world-class security and resilient services.
“Our partnership with Cloudflare enables MTN Business to deliver world-class cloud security services – such as DDoS protection, secure web gateways, and Zero Trust access – at scale,” said Mariska Scriba, MTN Business Head of Enterprise Security Services.
Cloud-based SOC and Managed Firewalls
MTN Business offers a comprehensive cloud-native SOC-as-a-Service, which provides constant security visibility and monitoring.
This includes continuous threat and event management (CTEM), managed extended detection and response (XDR), attack surface assessments, vulnerability management, and compliance reporting.
To support this SOC-as-a-Service offering, MTN gives you a choice of two managed firewall services – a Dedicated Firewall and a Hosted Firewall.
The Managed Dedicated Firewall is deployed on-premises and is ideal for businesses that want full control and customisation over their firewall.
The Managed Hosted Firewall is for cloud environments and is perfect for businesses looking for scalability without having to pay a hardware overhead.
Communication protection
Along with its SOC-as-a-Service and firewall offerings, MTN Business provides services to help businesses combat phishing attacks.
Phishing is one of the most common forms of cyber-attacks, so these solutions are perfect for any company, regardless of its size or industry.
To protect against email-focused attacks, MTN Business offers a wide range of solutions – including anti-phishing, anti-malware, and spoofing protection.
These solutions are actively tailored to suit different client environments and needs.
For mobile devices, MTN Business offers its Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions.
“Our Enterprise Mobility Management solutions are designed to support businesses of all sizes – from SMEs to large enterprises – by securing and managing mobile devices, applications, and data,” said Scriba.
“We offer a range of EMM platforms, including Samsung Knox, IBM MaaS360, and Microsoft Intune, allowing us to tailor solutions based on each client’s specific requirements, infrastructure, and budget.”
Training and support
Alongside its security solutions, MTN Business offers a comprehensive suite of training programs and assessments to improve security awareness.
The training programs help employees recognise and respond to threats, while the assessments determine areas for general organisational improvement.
This offers great value to businesses who may not know where to begin their cybersecurity journey – and MTN is ready to help you every step of the way.
“We start with a consultative approach – listening to the client’s goals, challenges, and environment to understand their unique needs,” said Scriba.
“From there, we co-create a tailored cybersecurity solution that aligns with their risk profile, budget, and growth plans.”
Whether it’s scaling services, adapting to new threats, or supporting compliance efforts, MTN will walk with you every step of the way to ensure long-term success and peace of mind.
