Hunter Valley, Aug 12: Optus has unveiled its latest innovation in cybersecurity at the TechLeaders Conference in Hunter Valley, introducing a Managed Threat Monitoring Service powered by Devo.
Chris Diffley, Senior Director of Client Security at Optus, shared that this new service is a significant advancement in protecting large enterprises, including those in the financial services, logistics, health, and transport sectors.
The service integrates advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and analyze vast amounts of data, making it one of the most sophisticated tools available in the Australian market.
As cyber threats continue to rise, Optus has positioned itself as the first managed service provider in Australia to partner with Devo, bringing real-time visibility of potential and emerging network threats.

These tools allow the platform to analyze up to 400 days of data, uncovering complex threats that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Optus has been meticulous in rolling out this service, having conducted an 18-month proof of concept to ensure its effectiveness, scalability, and reliability.
The addition of this service is part of Optus’ broader investment in its security ecosystem, integrating AI and machine learning (ML) to provide comprehensive protection.
Diffley noted that this technology is essential for managing the complex security needs of large enterprises, ensuring that they have the tools necessary to safeguard their critical assets.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, Optus’ partnership with Devo marks a significant step forward in the fight against cybercrime, offering Australian businesses the security they need to operate confidently in a digital world.
