Telefónica recognised as a ‘Very Strong’ provider in GlobalData’s global report on managed cybersecurity services

Telefónica has once again been recognised by GlobalData as a Very Strong provider in its latest sector report, “Managed Security Services: Competitive Landscape Assessment 2026”, consolidating its position amongst the leading global providers of managed cybersecurity services.

The study, designed as a competitive analysis to help organisations evaluate the leading global providers of managed cybersecurity services, examines market developments in the face of rising cyber threats, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence, and the demands of digital sovereignty and regulatory compliance.

In this edition, Telefónica has achieved this strong rating across all seven criteria assessed. Furthermore, the company has improved its rating from ‘Strong’ to ‘Very Strong’ in two key areas: ‘Service Packages & Support Guarantees’ and ‘Security Assessment & Auditing Services’.

Within this international market landscape, Telefónica positions itself as a strategic cybersecurity partner capable of supporting organisations of all sizes from SMEs to large enterprises and multinationals, throughout every phase of the security lifecycle: identification, preparation, protection, detection, response and recovery.

The analysis firm also highlights key differentiators such as the threat visibility gained through its own network and the value of its Next Defence offering, as well as the experience and expertise of Telefónica’s cybersecurity teams, underpinned by ongoing investment in training to meet the growing demand for specialist talent in the sector.
