Fujitsu strengthens cyber security with new Australian, NZ division

Wed, 17th Apr 2024

Fujitsu has established a cutting-edge, integrated team of data security and forensics experts, reinforcing its commitment to combatting the increasing global and local cyber threats affecting organisations in Australia and New Zealand. Named Fujitsu Cyber Security Services, this dedicated consulting team is focused on assisting organisations and chief information security officers in preparing for and responding to critical data security challenges.

The new division consolidates the skills and specialities of Fujitsu's existing regional security team and the enhanced capabilities resulting from recent acquisitions by the firm, such as Enable, InPhySec, MF & Associates, and oobe. In this move, Fujitsu is not only setting a benchmark for digital experience and sustainability transformation but also strengthening its role as a robust and supportive partner in cyber resilience.

Graeme Beardsell, Chief Executive Officer Asia-Pacific at Fujitsu, says: "Organisations of all sizes are increasingly facing cyber threats. Fujitsu Cyber Security Services will support firms in preparing and responding to the most pressing data security challenges today. Our integrated team of experts provides comprehensive, tailored solutions, from advanced threat intelligence to rapid response mechanisms. By unifying our firm's regional expertise, Fujitsu offers a unique strategic advantage, enabling our clients to focus on their core business with the assurance of robust cyber resilience."

Fujitsu Cyber Security Services provides organisations in Australia and New Zealand with an industry-leading collection of cyber security services and capabilities. Services include consulting and assurance, digital forensics and incident response, assessments and cyber security capacity enhancements, and AI-enhanced security operations. Organisations can avail themselves of integrated, end-to-end data security support ranging from strategy and roadmap development, virtual chief information security officer services, and information security management to advanced threat intelligence and rapid response mechanisms.

Stuart Kilduff, Head of Fujitsu Cyber Security Services, added: "Our expert cyber security team and strategic alliance partners are backed by Fujitsu's legacy of innovation. This enables Fujitsu to deliver rapid, effective data security solutions, ensuring our clients' cyber resilience. Organisations will also be able to access an integrated range of technologies, including artificial intelligence, and digital and security transformation skills to support the complex needs of organisations in Australia and New Zealand."

The strengthening of Fujitsu's cyber security capabilities follows recent regional acquisitions, including Microsoft cloud provider oobe, consulting and cyber security specialists MF & Associates, ServiceNow consultancy Enable, and New Zealand security consulting company InPhySec. The integrated expertise from these acquired businesses helps reinforce Fujitsu's expertise in digital experience and sustainability experience transformation, promising to enhance their customers' safety in the digital realm.
