In their blog, SDxCentral quoted analyst Ovum’s "Managed Security Services Provider Profiles EMEA 2018-19" report saying that the consultancy already rated Orange Cyberdefense as a market challenger in the security sector before the acquisition. SDxCentral quoted Ovum saying that security is considered a major growth area for the Orange Group, and the operator intends to develop the Orange Cyberdefense brand "as a pure-play cybersecurity provider beyond the realms of network security."
5G was also in the news for Orange after the recent disclosure of the partnership between Dell Technologies and Orange. Forbes, Light Reading, SDxCentral and RCR Wireless all mentioned the Orange ambition to launch 5G technology in 17 major European cities this year.
Elsewhere in the news, Computer Sweden spoke with our Nordic Regional M.D. Simon Ranyard, who discussed the Nordic regional growth strategy for Orange Business and how we're able to act as a global business with a local touch. The report focuses on the importance and potential of the acquisition of Basefarm by Orange in 2018 and how it reinforces our position in the cloud services market.
