DALLAS, Aug. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BT today announced that it has been positioned as a "Leader" in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Security Services 2017 Vendor Assessment.*

In this year's report, BT has moved into the Leaders category. In the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Managed Security Services, published in 2014, BT had been named a Major Player.

The report notes that BT's differentiation comes through its ability to be a one-stop shop for its customers thanks to its capacity to seamlessly integrate a broad security portfolio of managed services with a customer's BT-provided WAN, LAN and compute solutions.

Specifically, the IDC MarketScape report identifies BT's strengths such as:

"Focus on big data analytics, threat intelligence and complementary services."
"BT has made strides in addressing enterprise challenges of migrating to the cloud and as a result provides enterprises guidance to migrate to the cloud securely using BT's cloud partnerships and other vendor technologies."
"BT combines its own innovation with partner technology that may include market leaders or innovating technology from emerging start-ups."
"BT makes a practice of developing flexible pricing and payment options and for methods of acquiring and retaining talent. BT uses a variety of tools to identify talent and invests time and resources in developing cybersecurity talent — an example is the BT Security Academy."

The report also highlights the fact that "BT's investments are focused on assisting customers in their digital journeys as they operate in new environments created by cloud, virtualized services, and IoT. BT offers advanced services that help customers transition with confidence and exploit these new technologies."
