The Spanish SMBs subscribed to Conexión Segura Empresas have avoided more than 80,000 potential cybersecurity incidents since the solution was launched in May. Of those, more than 89% of blocks occurred when users tried to access risky domains or websites, as a result of ‘phishing’.
Combating rising cybercrime
“The service that Telefónica Empresas offers to its customers has been launched at a moment of high level of cybercrime, in which a new threat is created every 6 seconds, according to research carried out by Telefónica. Small and Medium Businesses are the preferred target for cybercriminals, due to their lower level of protection."
Conexión Segura Empresas offers a scalable solution of the service that is currently being offered to large enterprises"
José Luis Gilpérez, executive director for Public Administrations, Defense and Security in Telefónica Spain, said “Conexión Segura Empresas offers a scalable solution of the service that is currently being offered to large enterprises and administrations so that Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) can take a quality leap on their security policy.”
Conexión Segura Empresas platform
Thanks to the security technology of McAfee and Allot, respectively, Conexión Segura Empresas acts as a platform that, installed in the core of the Telefónica network, can ‘filter’ all the data that enter the company network, analyse their patterns and discard what is categorised as a virus or malicious software.
This solution also prevents users from landing on websites categorised as risky or inappropriate due to their content, and avoids website impersonation, fraud and private data theft derived from scams. It also protects the company employees’ fixed and mobile devices in cases of device loss or theft, and when they are connected outside the corporate network.

“Our partnership with Telefónica and Allot has proven effective in providing protection for businesses, no matter the size,” says Jesús Sánchez-Aguilera Head of Consumer and SME EMEA, McAfee. “We believe that collaboration leads to innovation of the best cybersecurity solutions. Working together, we provide solutions to help businesses protect what matters, like customer data and intellectual property, regardless of the devices they use or the scale of their business.”
