Telstra named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cybersecurity Consulting Services 2024 Vendor Assessment

“IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilises a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor’s position within that market. The Capabilities score measures vendor product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by the size of the circles. Vendor year-over-year growth rate relative to the given market is indicated by a plus, neutral or minus next to the vendor’s name.”

The report noted, “Telstra Security has strategic partnership with product vendors, such as Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Netskope, Cisco, Microsoft and CrowdStrike, Telstra Purple partners, and trusted individuals. Partners may be used in engagements involving client certifications.”
