Head of cyber security at Vodafone Business , Andrzej Kawalec gives a comprehensive view of cyber security and the demand from customers to simplify solutions
Across all forms of digital technology , the threat landscape is increasing , exacerbated by unprecedented global events that have shifted the way we consume digital tech and telecommunications . The COVID pandemic poses as an example of the dependency that individuals and businesses have developed on connectivity , as it saw many corporations shift to a work-from-home operating model and distanced technical capabilities had to adjust to meet the growing number of decentralised teams across the globe .
While telecommunications has been around in one form or another for centuries , it takes a major shift in operations to understand just how critical connectivity is and , equally important , how vulnerable it can be . To sustain a business in the digital world requires the correct expertise to get teams online , but also the ability to protect them from the vulnerabilities that come from extended digital ecosystems .
This is where Vodafone Business ’ role begins : with a recognition that digital adoption – particularly among small businesses – left a void that could easily be filled with cyber threats and ransomware attempts . In comes the cybersecurity team at Vodafone Business , led by Andrzej Kawalec , Head of Cybersecurity , and responsible for the telecom giant ’ s cybersecurity portfolio , helping companies minimise exposure to threats .
