"Working with Accenture, we will leverage our combined capabilities and global experience to deliver modular security solutions, offering access to technologies that until now were only available to companies with large IT budgets," he added. 

Highlighting about their future plans in 2020, Vodafone Business security services will launch later this year to SME and national corporate-sized businesses, in Italy and Spain, with the United Kingdom and Germany to follow. 

Kelly Bissell, who heads Accenture Security globally, said the dangers of cybercrime to businesses everywhere should not be underestimated but rather tackled. “The distinct nature of cybercrime makes it borderless and anonymous. Cybercriminals can come from anywhere and as they take advantage of the COVID-19 situation, they pose a significant threat to businesses of all sizes with costly consequences,” said Bissell.
