Google Cloud announced its support for security compliance and facilitating digital transformation for telecom companies. Telecom networks are a critical component of our society's infrastructure and face a wide array of risks, from network outages to ransomware attacks and nation-state intrusions. As such, telecom operators are subject to a complex and evolving set of security and privacy regulations.
Telecom operators may see these regulations as a barrier to cloud migration. However, Google Cloud supports customer compliance in several ways, making this process easier than you might expect (and more straightforward than in many legacy environments):
* Google Cloud provides a consistent and unified technology platform, with common security controls and platform-wide, policy-based security automation.
* Google Cloud adopts a Secure By Design and Secure By Default approach, which supports customers in meeting many security requirements “out-of-the-box.”
* Most regulations can be mapped to a common baseline. Google Cloud has an extensive compliance framework and experience in guiding customers as they adapt to new standards.
Google Cloud is working with partners like Nokia to enable telecom-related workloads in the public cloud. Their webinar on Demystifying Telecoms SaaS Security highlights how they are collaborating to solve security and compliance challenges for communication service providers.
This support helps telecom companies focus on their innovations and services while ensuring their data security and regulatory compliance. By providing a secure and compliant cloud platform, Google Cloud enables telecom companies to achieve their business goals.
