Overall, the partnership aims to tap the growing demand for cybersecurity solutions. Per a report from Fortune Business Insights, the global cyber security market size is projected to grow from $172.3 billion in 2023 to $424.9 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 13.8%. The industry is likely to benefit from increased adoption of cloud computing and rising cybersecurity attacks, added the report.

Lumen provides a range of networking and cloud and security solutions to government agencies and consumers. Their services include Internet connectivity, voice and video services and managed services.
