Altitude and Panda Security Partner to Secure Information in the Contact Center


Data Leakage Prevention Solution Protects Information Managed in the Contact Center Data Breaches have increased 29% since 2013, with an average cost of $4 million Madrid, Spain, 12 December 2016 – Altitude, a global provider of omnichannel solutions that deliver great customer experiences, and Panda Security, a leading advanced cybersecurity company, today announced a new strategic partnership. This partnership will combine Altitude and Panda expertise, solutions and services to maximize and optimize the prevention of data leakage in the contact center.



Recent research (1) shows a 29% increase in data breaches since 2013, with an average cost of $4 million per incident and an average cost of $158 per lost or stolen record. Other reports (2) point out that, for the first time, in 2015 security events traced to insiders have outranked security incidents by outsiders.

The Altitude and Panda partnership will provide an integrated monitoring and security platform that relies on big data and analytics to detect and block outsider and insider threats in the contact center. Both companies will work together to deliver endpoint protection, detection and response, data leak prevention and user/entity behavior analytics.

“The deliberate or accidental release of sensitive data in contact centers is a problem with far reaching consequences as companies are required to comply with more regulation to take reasonable technical, physical and organizational measures to protect the security of sensitive information”, states Jesus Cuadrado, Business Solutions Manager at Altitude Software. “Together with Panda, we are bringing to the market a solution specifically designed to stop the loss of sensitive information in a contact center environment, focused on automating the protection and detection of mishandled data”.

“Contact Centers need to be more effective in preventing breaches and they need to be able to react if the prevention fails” said Raúl Pérez García, Global Presales Manager at Panda Security. “Our solution, integrated with Altitude, analyzes and correlates all the information generated about cyber-threats in order to initiate prevention, detection, response and remediation routines, configuring a whole security intelligence system able to uncover malicious behavior patterns and generate advanced cyber-security action to pre-empt malware”.
