Security The Top Business Opportunity For Telcos - Report
Telecom TV, Wednesday, August 30,2023
Security applications offer the greatest business opportunity for leading telcos, according to the results of a survey of major telco CTOs and other top technology decision-makers conducted by TelecomTV.
As part of a wide-ranging survey focused on the trends that are shaping the telecom sector, we asked a select group of chief technology officers (CTOs) and other high-level technology decision-makers from major network operators to rank the business opportunity (for their own company) of a range of service categories from 1 to 10, where 1 represented no opportunity at all and 10 represented a great opportunity.
As the chart above shows, security came out top with a score of 7.7, followed very closely by fixed-line business services. It's 'clear that respondents believe security services offer great business potential, reflecting the growing cybersecurity challenges faced, in particular, by business users,' noted the authors of The Big Picture report.
