BT and Google Cloud announced a new partnership focusing on an enhanced commitment to cybersecurity innovation. Serving customers in more than 180 countries and with a team of 3,000 security professionals, BT works with the security vendors to provide managed security solutions to private and public sector organizations around the world. As part of the partnership, BT will become a managed services delivery partner for Google's Autonomic Security Operations (ASO) offering based on Google Chronicle.

ASO is a holistic framework that combines principles, practices, and tools that enable organizations to take an adaptive and automated approach to threat management. Underpinned by Chronicle's peta-byte scale detection, a data lake powered by Google Cloud's data and analytics platform BigQuery, and rich, compelling analytics via Looker, the solution decreases the time to detect and respond to threats?which is essential in the face of the increasing volume and complexity of cyber-attacks. Customers will benefit from the new partnership by gaining the technological capabilities of Google Chronicle, combined with BT's track record of delivering cybersecurity services to organizations with complex estates and requirements.

Customers will be supported by experts from BT's Security Advisory Services team, who leverage BT's deep experience in security operations and integration to help organizations ensure that they have optimised their wider security architecture to fully align with their priorities and ambition.
