AT&T Dynamic Defense® Business Fiber

NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

AT&T Dynamic Defense® on AT&T Business Fiber is transforming cybersecurity by embedding enterprise-grade protection directly into the network. Rather than requiring businesses to deploy and manage multiple standalone security products, Dynamic Defense integrates advanced threat protection, DNS security, firewall capabilities, threat intelligence, and AI-driven detection into a single, network-native service. This innovative approach proactively blocks threats before they reach the customer environment while dramatically simplifying security operations.

The solution has delivered proven results at scale, protecting more than 15,000 enterprise customers, blocking over 33 billion cyber threats, and analyzing approximately 700 petabytes of network traffic. Customers can activate protection in roughly 16 minutes without deploying additional hardware and benefit from sub-20-minute mean time to resolution for security incidents. These outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of delivering cybersecurity as an integrated network capability rather than a standalone overlay.

A key innovation is Dynamic Defense’s ability to democratize enterprise-grade cybersecurity. Historically, advanced security solutions required significant investments in hardware, software, and specialized personnel, placing them out of reach for many organizations. By embedding security directly into the AT&T network, Dynamic Defense delivers carrier-grade protection at a fraction of the traditional cost, making sophisticated cyber defense accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Dynamic Defense is award-worthy because it combines innovation, measurable impact, operational simplicity, and exceptional value. By transforming network connectivity into a proactive security platform, AT&T has established a new benchmark for embedded security services and expanded access to enterprise-grade protection for organizations that need it most.
