About Telia

Telia sells cybersecurity services for businesses, including DDoS Protection, Telia Secure 24/7 monitoring, security for the IT environment, mobile security and backup for Microsoft 365 and Google data.

Telia says its cybersecurity helps businesses reduce the risk of attacks, manage active threats and recover data. Telia says most cyberattacks start with a mistake, an unprotected device, or a stolen account. Telia organises its security in three steps: build a solid foundation, discover and take action, and minimize disruptions. Telia says its security covers users, devices, networks and data.

In the first step, Telia describes protection for networks, devices and identities, aimed at stopping phishing, ransomware and other threats. Acronis Security Package protects an IT environment, including email, users and collaboration spaces. Smart Security protects company phones from malware, phishing and digital threats, and includes VPN for secure connections and the ability to remotely lock a lost or stolen device. Telia's digital certificates relate to identity and access management, and Telia says granting the right person the right access at the right time can reduce risk, strengthen security and simplify administration.

In the second step, Telia says attacks can be detected, analyzed and stopped in real time. Telia says a DDoS attack can take down websites and digital services in minutes. Telia sells DDoS Protection, which filters out malicious traffic before it reaches the customer and keeps digital services available during an attack. Telia says Acronis Security Package helps detect suspicious activity, assess risks and stop attacks before they cause damage. With Telia Secure 24/7, security experts monitor computers, servers and accounts around the clock, and identify, investigate and respond to suspicious activity.^[1]

In the third step, Telia says no security measure can guarantee that incidents will never occur. Telia says secure backup and restoration of critical data and essential systems let a business recover quickly from an incident. Microsoft 365 and Google Backup gives secure copies of emails, files and collaboration spaces that can be quickly restored if something goes wrong.

Telia offers Internet Filter, which protects users from known phishing and fraud sites without requiring installation. Telia says Internet Filter is included with all its business mobile plans. Telia says NIS2 becomes Swedish law through the Cybersecurity Act and applies to more than just large corporations. Telia says suppliers are covered by NIS2 too.
