at the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco. LevelBlue is a new managed cybersecurity services company that provides comprehensive cybersecurity services, including managed security, consulting, threat intelligence, and continuous support from their security operations centers.
LevelBlue’s approach strongly focuses on proactive threat identification and response, leveraging a threat intelligence platform enriched by machine learning and an extensive community network. McCullen’s vision is clear: “AT&T is all about fiber and 5G, and this new entity will be all about cyber. This will allow us to invest in the people and technology and really focus on our customers from a cyber perspective.”The divestiture is a strategic maneuver by AT&T to streamline its operations and focus on its most profitable sectors, particularly as it struggles to manage a long-term debt of $143 billion.
LevelBlue emerges into the cybersecurity landscape with significant assets and expertise inherited from AT&T and enriched by the acquisition of AlienVault. Including AlienVault's OTX is particularly strategic, enhancing LevelBlue's capability in threat intelligence and community-driven security insights, allowing LevelBlue to capitalize on the increasing demand for sophisticated cybersecurity solutions that can preemptively address emerging threats.
