Kyndryl and Vodafone Business have extended their relationship to enhance security and resiliency services for Vodafone's financial industry customers. This agreement marks a significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration between the two industry leaders.

Under the extended agreement, Kyndryl will enable new security measures to support Vodafone customers in meeting their regulatory compliance requirements. These measures include endpoint protection services for servers, workstations, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), vulnerability services, proxy management, and web internet protection services. Kyndryl will scan and identify vulnerabilities of end customer servers, virtual machines, network devices, firewalls and endpoint devices. These measures aim to fortify the Vodafone customers’ digital infrastructure against emerging threats and mitigate interrupted business operations.

Today's announcement builds on the relationship of these teams, which was established in 2018. Since then, the two companies have evolved their work to meet the unique requirements of various industries, focusing on infrastructure, cloud and security services.

"We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Kyndryl and further enhance the security posture of our financial industry client," said Sascha Roeber, Head of Sales, Finance and Insurance, Vodafone Business. "By combining our respective strengths and resources, we are well-positioned to deliver comprehensive security services to our customers."

Alexander Steineck, Vice President Industrial and Consumer, Kyndryl Germany, said, "At Kyndryl, we are dedicated to helping our customers navigate within the ever-growing cybersecurity challenges. We are excited to collaborate with Vodafone in Germany to provide advanced security and resiliency services that address the evolving threat landscape and empower our customers to achieve their business objectives."

The extended relationship underscores the companies' shared commitment to innovation, excellence, and delivering tangible value to their customers. By harnessing their collective expertise, the companies aim to set new benchmarks in the realm of cybersecurity and strengthen the foundation for sustainable growth and success.
