CITIC TELECOM CPC is the First to be Recognized as VMware Sovereign Cloud Partner in Hong Kong

As multi-cloud deployment has gone mainstream, thanks to rapid enterprise digital transformation, Sovereign Cloud has become a key solution in achieving data compliance when businesses deploy multiple clouds. CITIC Telecom International CPC Limited (CITIC Telecom CPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC Telecom International Holdings Limited (SEHK: 1883) today announced it is the first company in Hong Kong to become a VMware Sovereign Cloud provider, so enterprises in Hong Kong and MNC customers can embrace the benefits of high-quality cloud computing services and applications, helping different industries to deploy multi-cloud services comply with local laws and regulations while enabling data compliance and reliability.
Growing adoption of multi-cloud strategy boosts the demand for sovereign cloud services

New research(1) conducted by Vanson Bourne and commissioned by VMware reveals that over the next two years, 96% of all companies surveyed believe data will be a source of revenue, and 50% believe it will be a significant revenue source. Given the prevailing economic headwinds, it is not surprising that more business leaders are zeroing in on their data as an untapped source of revenue. Yet the downside is just as big: respondents identified data sovereignty as one of the key challenges facing organizations with 95% admitting it is a concern. Organizations that fail to comply with data-sovereignty regulations often have to pay fines up to hundreds of millions of dollars and suffer damage to brand reputation because of data compromise.

Enterprises in Hong Kong and the rest of the world are undergoing rapid digitalisation across all sectors, and together with the rising demand for cross-border data security, there is a growing need for a robust cloud framework that supports multi-cloud development and meets regulatory requirements. CITIC Telecom CPC’s collaboration with VMware enables mutual customers to benefit from a Sovereign Cloud Service based on VMware Cloud, the industry’s unique multi-cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and enjoy the benefits of data sovereignty and data economy with lower risk.

“The increased demand for sovereign cloud and its importance is widely recognized,” said Mr. Taylor Lam, Chief Strategy Officer of CITIC Telecom CPC. “We are thrilled to work with a trusted international cloud technology leader and proud to become the first VMware Sovereign Cloud provider in Hong Kong. With our expanded VMware relationship, we can provide our customers with the best cloud solutions available that are not only more secure, compliant, and reliable, but also specifically tailored to meet the specific requirements of Hong Kong for data sovereignty and data mobility. This will enable our customers to modernize their apps, infrastructure and operations more cost-effectively, and with reduced risk.”

“There is no data sovereignty without cloud sovereignty. And sovereignty does not have to come at the expense of cloud innovation,” said Franco Lan, General Manager at VMware Hong Kong & Macau. “VMware Sovereign Cloud providers such as CITIC Telecom CPC can help customers innovate and drive digital transformation while reducing the risk of unlocking the value of data.”

Creating New Value with VMware Sovereign Cloud

As the leading Global-Local DICT service provider, CITIC Telecom CPC leverages its global resources and extensive industry experience to provide comprehensive ICT solutions and a suite of SmartCloud(TM) cloud computing services. As a long-term partner of VMware, CITIC Telecom CPC has already obtained multiple partner certifications from VMware, and has become the first VMware-verified Sovereign Cloud partner in Hong Kong, it enables mutual customers to benefit from Sovereign Cloud service based on VMware Cloud. CITIC Telecom CPC is well-positioned in deploying effective multi-cloud connectivity, safeguarding sovereignty control and risk management, and ensuring compliance with local regulations and data sovereignty requirements. It empowers enterprises to maintain data access and sovereign control while meeting high-level data privacy and residency requirements, as well as security and operational compliance requirements in the cloud environments. CITIC Telecom CPC is committed to assisting enterprises in deploying effective solutions for secure operation, reducing risks and creating new value to grow revenue through the digital economy and ultimately achieving long-term high-quality development.

CITIC Telecom CPC Launches new TrustCSI(TM) EDR Service – Check Point’s First Greater China Managed Service Partner Powered Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) Solution

CITIC Telecom International CPC Limited (“CITIC Telecom CPC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC Telecom International Holdings Limited (SEHK: 1883), is partnering with Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, to launch TrustCSI(TM) EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) Service.

Ivan Chin, General Manager, Hong Kong Sales at CITIC Telecom International CPC Limited (left) and Kev Lau,
Cyber Security Evangelist, Office of the CTO at Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. announce the partnership and the launch of the new TrustCSI(TM) EDR Service.

Traditional endpoint security doesn’t stop all known attacks. CITIC Telecom CPC’s managed endpoint security solution provides comprehensive endpoint protection at the highest security level, crucial to avoid security breaches and data compromise. TrustCSI(TM) EDR solution is built to protect organizations and the remote workforce from today’s complex threat landscape, provides visibility, protection, detection and proactive responses to cyber threats.

“Endpoints continue to be one of the most vulnerable parts in organization’s infrastructure. To collaborate with Check Point, leading provider of cyber security, we can deploy a complete managed endpoint security suite, combines the highest-rated data security and threat intelligence, with secure remote communications at complex access gateways.” said Taylor Lam, Chief Strategy Officer at CITIC Telecom CPC. “With quick cyber threat detection and response at all endpoints, enterprises can also prevent costly data security breaches.”

Safeguard your Endpoints and Data
As a complete endpoint security service offering, the new TrustCSI(TM) EDR Service proactively protects enterprises from cyber threats across all current and new endpoint devices. It uses automatic remediation to close exposed security gaps and strengthen security in real-time as enterprises deploy more remote offices and expand their hybrid workforces. The service rapidly minimises endpoint threats such as phishing, ransomware, and malware by working closely with Check Point Software. It also gives enterprise system administrators better visibility on the overall security status of their servers and endpoints.

“Cyberattacks today have the capability to bring down a business’s entire operations and cost it millions of dollars and its reputation. With most enterprises working remotely, it is important for endpoints throughout the organisation to remain protected and secure. TrustCSI(TM) EDR Service detects and prevents cyber threats automatically, so that enterprises can take a proactive approach to cybersecurity, rather than remediate the problem after the attack has happened, saving enterprises millions of dollars and downtime,” said Harry Wong, Director of Channel Business, Greater China, Check Point Software Technologies.

Key benefits include:

— Prevents Attacks Before They Damage: Leveraging Next Generation Anti-Virus (NGAV), anti-malware, anti-phishing, sandboxing, content disarm, and reconstruction technologies, the service helps enterprises proactively stop attacks before any damage is done.

— Enables Runtime Detection and Protection: With behavioural analysis, anti-ransomware, anti-exploit, and other technologies always on standby, enterprises can remediate various attack types, including ransomware, malware, and file-less attacks, more effectively. Furthermore, the full automated remediation triggers even in offline mode.

— Improves Attack Investigation and Response: Detailed forensics reports are autogenerated to help system administrators and incident response teams analyse system health. In addition, robust attack diagnostics offer important visibility to an attack, allowing incident response teams to conduct triage and resolve attacks more effectively.

— Increases Remediation Times with Automation: By automatically performing certain incident response activities based upon predefined rules, it can block or rapidly remediate specific incidents and reduce the workload on incident response teams.

— 24×7 SOC Managed and Monitoring Services: CITIC Telecom CPC security experts provide round-the-clock monitoring and managed services to detect and prevent endpoint security attacks with accurate and timely alerts

The TrustCSI(TM) EDR service strengthens CITIC Telecom CPC’s TrustCSI(TM) Threat Detection and Response Service portfolio. Empowered by advanced SIEM technology, the portfolio offers pervasive threat detection monitoring across the entire enterprise network, optimises response rate for faster threat detection and response, and further extends the service capability to all endpoint protection.
