Prosegur’s Cipher division and Menta Grup join forces to create the first SOC in Andorra
Cipher, the cybersecurity division of Prosegur Group, has reached a strategic agreement with the local security company, Menta Grup, to jointly develop the first Security Operations Center (SOC) in Andorra. This partnership aims to accelerate and scale the adoption of cybersecurity systems and measures across the principality.
In this collaboration, Cipher will be responsible for integrating and maintaining new technologies, implementing cyber surveillance services, and providing regulatory compliance support to users. On the other hand, Menta Grup will deliver first-level response services and user interaction, enabling 24/7 monitoring of cyber threats and ensuring constant protection and rapid response to any potential incidents.
The establishment of this technological center will lead to the creation of dozens of highly qualified technical positions specialized in managing the latest cybersecurity incidents and cyber intelligence, including AI-driven technological solutions. Operating under the brand name ‘Menta Ciberseguridad by Cipher a Prosegur Company’, this service aims to provide a safer digital environment for Andorran companies and institutions, safeguarding them against the rising cyber threats in an increasingly interconnected world.
«For companies and institutions looking to enhance their cybersecurity posture and visibility continuously, we offer AI-driven cybersecurity solutions unlike static and commoditized services provided by competitors. Our xMDR platform enables clients to anticipate detection and response, allowing them to focus on their business,» stated Jorge González de León, Director of Cipher EMEA.
Moreover, this collaboration reinforces Cipher’s commitment to developing new partnerships in cybersecurity, improving personalized solutions tailored to each client’s risk profiles, and offering expert cybersecurity guidance in real-time in the countries where it operates.
According to Jordi Moreno, Director of Institutional Relations at Menta Grup, «The alliance with Prosegur will elevate our cybersecurity capabilities to a global level and provide comprehensive services to our clients in Andorra. We are excited about the opportunities this agreement will bring, as well as the strength it will add to cyber resilience in our country.»
This strategic partnership between Cipher and Menta Grup signifies a significant step towards enhancing cybersecurity measures in Andorra and underlines the importance of collaboration in combating cyber threats in today’s digital landscape.
Question for reflection: How can the collaboration between cybersecurity companies and local security firms contribute to strengthening national cybersecurity defenses in other countries as well?
