Paris, September 7, 2021 – Capgemini announced today that it has been named a Leader by Everest Group in its IT Managed Security Services (MSS) PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2021.

This recognition by Everest Group further validates our customer-centric approach and investments in building an end-to-end portfolio of security services. We are continuously augmenting our range of expertise with innovation that helps our clients to be agile and resilient and ensures their business continuity through an ever-evolving cyberthreat landscape, notably during these turbulent times,” said Geert van der Linden, Cybersecurity Business Lead at Capgemini Group.

Among Capgemini’s strengths that the report cites are:

  • an in-depth knowledge of the client’s environment, localization narrative, focus on improving business metrics, and the depth and experience of its portfolio;
  • a strong innovation roadmap for the next 3 years with an emphasis on AI, automation, analytics, and threat intelligence;
  • an OT/IoT security portfolio combining the assets and expertise of the Altran acquisition with Capgemini’s security portfolio;

  • investments in cyber experience centers that provide an immersive cybersecurity simulation of disruptive cyber-attacks and clients environments.
