BT launches cybersecurity service for
organisations across the globe
B
T is marking another step in the
ongoing expansion of its cybersecurity
capabilities by announcing the launch
of its Security Advisory Services practice.
The practice will offer strategic security
guidance and solutions to organisations
across the globe, reflecting the market
demand for expert guidance to navigate
today’s complex cybersecurity landscape.
BT Security Advisory Services will be led
by Tris Morgan, with approximately 300
members of specialist staff based across
the globe. They will be supported by the
experience and capabilities of the wider BT
Security team, which protects BT against
125,000 cyberattacks per month and
provides security solutions to consumers,
governments and businesses, including
some of the world’s best-known brands. The
practice will help organisations at all stages
of their security journey to assess and test
their defences and select the solutions that
match their security needs – whether that
requires building an entirely new security
strategy, or upgrading their protections to
combat the latest threats and trends.
Kevin Brown, Managing Director of BT
Security, said: “The creation of the Advisory
Services practice is the next step in BT
Security’s strategy. It recognises that the
optimal way to safeguard any organisation
is through a continual and strategic
evolution of their security posture.”
The services provided will be grouped into
four key categories: cyberthreat; Zero Trust;
governance, risk and compliance; and cloud
security. Each of these areas will provide
a range of solutions that cover today’s
biggest security issues and help customers
prepare for the major new technologies and
challenges of the future.

commitment to expansion strategy
C
eligo, a leading integration Platform-
as-a-Service (iPaaS) provider for both
business and technical users, has launched a
new data centre in Hanover.
The data centre will provide infrastructure and
compliance support based in Europe for the
company’s fast-growing contingent of Europe,
Middle East and Africa (EMEA) customers.
The investment is part of the company’s
worldwide expansion strategy to meet the
rising demand for its integration platform.
Jan Arendtsz, Founder and CEO of Celigo,
said: “We’re off to a terrific start with our
worldwide expansion strategy. This new data
centre allows us to offer the same global
level of performance, security and reliability
from European servers.”
Last year, Celigo brought veteran tech

an Amsterdam office as its
European headquarters and
added to its London-based
staff. The opening of the data
centre is the latest investment
in resources for EMEA
customers and partners.
“Serving our hundreds of EMEA
customers locally is a priority
for Celigo,” said Arendtsz. “I
look forward to continuing
to work with our EMEA
colleagues to deliver solutions
to customers worldwide.”
As business app usage spirals upwards across
all industries, it’s becoming more critical
than ever for companies to find integration

can automate processes and leverage
data to generate insights. Celigo’s unique
approach to iPaaS is increasingly popular
because it simplifies integration for business
users and IT professionals alike, connecting
applications to facilitate the free flow of
data and enable agility and innovation at
an unprecedented scale.
