Telefónica Tech and Wiz Partner on Cloud Security Push
Telefónica Tech, the digital business arm of Telefónica, has announced a new partnership with Wiz, a global leader in cloud security.
The collaboration is designed to help Spanish businesses adopt and manage multi-cloud environments more securely, with advanced tools and expert support.
Under the agreement, Telefónica Tech will integrate Wiz’s industry-leading cloud security platform into its portfolio of services.
The move enhances Telefónica Tech’s ability to protect customers' digital assets, detect threats early and provide continuous, around-the-clock protection as businesses shift more operations to the cloud.
Integrating best-in-class protection
Under the terms of the alliance, Telefónica Tech will embed Wiz’s cloud-native security platform directly into its suite of cloud services. The result? More visibility, more threat detection and fewer blind spots for customers navigating the murky waters of multi-cloud environments.
Think of it like installing a top-tier alarm system across every door and window of a digital estate – only smarter. With Wiz onboard, Telefónica Tech is offering continuous, context-rich threat detection that adapts to evolving risks in real time.
“The alliance with Wiz allows us to complement our cloud security services offering in the current context, marked by the massive adoption of AI and offer customers an automated platform with which to optimise the protection of their assets hosted in the cloud and the prevention of cyber attacks,” says Alberto Sempere, Director of Services, Innovation and Partnerships at Telefónica Tech.
Going beyond tech with tailored cyber services
But this isn’t just a matter of software integration. Telefónica Tech is also rolling out professional services to help clients implement, monitor and maintain their cloud security strategies. From first install to ongoing support, the goal is to make security seamless – rather than a roadblock to innovation.
With 24/7 monitoring and expert guidance, the new offering is designed to give organisations peace of mind as they adopt, scale and operate in the cloud. That’s a particularly big deal for industries juggling multiple cloud providers, legacy systems and compliance pressures all at once.
Wiz: A rising star in cloud-native defence
Wiz, recently named a leader in Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) and recently announced to be acquired by Google, brings a fresh take to cybersecurity. Its platform provides holistic visibility across sprawling cloud environments, helping developers and security teams alike spot vulnerabilities early and fix them fast.
Crucially, Wiz doesn’t just flag issues, it contextualises them. This lets teams focus on the highest-risk threats first, dramatically improving efficiency and overall security posture.
“It is an honour to consolidate this alliance between Wiz and Telefónica Tech at a key moment for the industry, marked by the rise of cybersecurity, AI and the accelerated adoption of the cloud,” says Tomás Carbonell, Vice President of EMEA and LATAM at Wiz.
“The collaboration allows us to offer organisations in Europe and LATAM a unique value proposition, combining Telefónica Tech’s local expertise with Wiz’s technology to protect everything that is built and run in the cloud.
“More than 50% of Fortune 100 companies already trust us and we are ready to expand that impact in the region.”
Tackling the multi-cloud security challenge
Most businesses today aren’t just in a cloud – they’re in several. That flexibility brings innovation opportunities, but also complexity. Managing security across multiple platforms and providers can become a tangled mess, often holding back digital transformation.
By pairing Telefónica Tech’s deep regional know-how with Wiz’s modern, unified platform, this alliance addresses that challenge head-on. Together, they aim to remove cybersecurity as a barrier to cloud adoption – especially in sectors where security risks have made IT leaders hesitant to move at pace.
A new benchmark for enterprise cybersecurity
This partnership isn’t just about protecting infrastructure, it’s about unlocking innovation by removing friction and fear. In a world shaped by AI, data sprawl and growing cyber risk, Telefónica Tech and Wiz are helping enterprises reset the bar for what good cloud security looks like.
With over half of the Fortune 100 already trusting Wiz, not to mention Telefónica Tech’s influence across Europe and LATAM, this alliance could ripple far beyond Spain – setting a new standard for smart, scalable cybersecurity in the AI-powered cloud era.
