Integralis is to undergo a name change.
Parent company NTT Com Group has announced it is re-branding the company as NTT Com Security.
At the same time the company has launched WideAngle, a global brand for its information security and risk management portfolio of Managed and Professional Services, expert consulting and technology products.
Integralis says it will now be able to “better leverage” its partnership with NTT Com as part of a large telecoms organisation, while NTT Com continues to focus on “developing services and solutions to help businesses secure their investments in cloud, mobile, social and collaborative technologies.”
“For us, the name change makes good business sense as the two companies become more closely aligned,” comments Integralis AG CEO, Simon Church (pictured). “We now have the opportunity to become the industry’s next information security and risk management powerhouse, especially with recent industry acquisitions.
“Combined with the creation of WideAngle as a single global brand, we will present clients and partners with a truly integrated solution for all aspects of their environment, be it cloud, mobile or a more traditional on-premise infrastructure.”
With the exception of setting up NTT Com Security in Japan, there are no management or other operational changes planned.
The firm says the name change will allow NTT Com to position itself as a “Trusted Advisor” to global organisations looking to manage the impact of business drivers such as big data, cloud, mobility, social networking and BYOD.
NTT Communications and its affiliates will also adopt the WideAngle brand when positioning their security portfolio to customers.
Says Akira Arima, CEO at NTT Com: “Integralis has become an integral part of NTT Com as our dedicated security arm over the last four years. As it becomes part of the NTT Com brand, it means we can continue to invest in information security skills, expertise and services, through the WideAngle brand, and also integrate into our Global Cloud Vision to provide secure global cloud services on a seamless, end-to-end basis. ”
