About the Frost Radar™
Frost & Sullivan – the global growth consulting and market research firm – recently published its Frost Radar™ “Managed Security Services in EMEA, 2026” study. The analysis benchmarks 15 managed security services providers in the EMEA market and positions them according to two dimensions: their ability to innovate and their performance and potential for sustained growth.
The Growth Index assesses each provider’s market share and revenue growth over the previous three years, as well as the strength of its growth pipeline, the alignment of its vision and strategy, and the effectiveness of its sales and marketing activities. The Innovation Index examines the scalability of its innovations, the effectiveness of its research and development strategy, the strength of its product and service portfolio, its ability to capitalize on long-term megatrends, and how closely its innovation strategy responds to evolving customer needs. Together, these ten criteria provide a structured view of the providers’ current market performance and future growth potential.
Highlights from the analysis
Here are some highlights as pointed out by Frost & Sullivan in their Frost Radar™:
- Deutsche Telekom (T-Security) differentiates itself in the European MSS market through a tightly integrated model that combines telecommunications infrastructure, large-scale SOC operations, and an increasingly AI-driven security stack. The company is positioning itself as a strategic enabler of digital sovereignty and cyber resilience in Europe.
- A central element of Deutsche Telekom’s innovation strategy is its evolution toward a modular, multi-domain MDR platform. MDR Pro integrates endpoint, identity, cloud, network, collaboration, and OT telemetry into a unified detection and response framework supported by 24/7 SOC operations, proactive threat hunting, and customizable playbooks.
- The company has also made significant investments in AI-driven security operations. Its Master SOC in Bonn centralizes large-scale analytics and automation, using AI to correlate signals, prioritize alerts, and provide analysts with contextual insights and recommended actions. Agentic automation capabilities enable semi- or fully automated response workflows, including account disablement, host isolation, and indicator blocking.
- Deutsche Telekom Security has established a strong position in the European managed security services market, supported by consistent growth and a broad customer base spanning midsize organizations, large enterprises, and regulated sectors. The company’s growth trajectory has been driven by a combination of portfolio expansion, deeper integration of security into its telecommunications services, and increased demand for MDR and SOC-based offerings.
- Operationally, Deutsche Telekom has continued to invest in SOC infrastructure, including the establishment of its Master SOC, as well as in AI-driven automation and threat intelligence. These investments have improved service scalability and contributed to faster detection and response times, which in turn support customer retention and upsell opportunities.
Deutsche Telekom (T-Security) stands out in Europe’s managed security services market by combining large-scale SOC operations, deep telecom infrastructure, and strong cyber defense expertise. Its portfolio gives customers a practical path to stronger resilience, faster response, and more mature security operations.
