TELSTRA will today open the doors on a multi-million-dollar security operations centre constructed to provide the telco's corporate customers with new managed security services.
The 1300sq m premises, at a secret location in Canberra, will specialise in identifying, blocking and quarantining attacks that threaten to infiltrate the networks of Telstra's enterprise and government customers.
Telstra enterprise and government executive director Paul McManus said the ASIO T4-accredited SOC was constructed to meet demand from enterprise and government customers that were increasingly seeking more secure network services.
"There is growing demand from both our enterprise and government customers for managed security services from Telstra," Mr McManus said.
"By adding the SOC to our existing network-monitoring facilities, the global operations centre and the managed network operations centre, the new facility complements Telstra's existing network monitoring expertise and facilities.
"The penalties for failure to fully secure networks have escalated from reputational damage to loss of customer or personal data, and even criminal liability."
Telstra network enterprise services executive director Gavan Corcoran said the centre would initially employ 40 security staff but had the capacity to grow to 100. All staff must be accredited, at minimum, to a national security level of highly protected to work in the centre.
"We are certified to ISO 27001 so that our customers are confident to do business with us so they know their data and systems are well protected," Mr Corcoran said.
ISO 27001 is an international standard and security certification that brings information security under management control.
