WillJam Ventures and AT&T close joint
venture to form new managed cybersecurity services business
At RSA Conference 2024, WillJam Ventures, an investor with deep
cybersecurity industry experience, today officially launched
LevelBlue, a joint venture with AT&T to form a new,
standalone managed cybersecurity services business. Cybersecurity
is a business imperative, and technologies such as artificial
intelligence (AI) and cloud computing create a more dynamic threat
landscape. LevelBlue provides managed security services and
unparalleled expertise, so organizations no longer have to
sacrifice security for innovation. They can achieve both, with
confidence.
LevelBlue offers strategic cybersecurity services to meet the
evolving needs of businesses with capabilities that include managed
security services, cybersecurity consulting, threat intelligence
and continuous security operations center (SOC) support. LevelBlue
includes more than 1,000 employees globally, with AT&T
retaining a minority ownership stake and board representation in
the new entity.
“Today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape requires
organizations to leverage expert resources for continuous
protection against emerging threats. LevelBlue’s advanced
cybersecurity capabilities, our co-investment with AT&T and our
ability to innovate will serve our customers and the industry well
now and in the future,” said Bob McCullen, Chairman and CEO of
LevelBlue and Managing Partner of WillJam Ventures. “LevelBlue’s
comprehensive technology and service portfolio simplifies
cybersecurity for the businesses that fuel our global economy. With
cyber threats making headlines daily and impacting businesses of
all types and sizes, LevelBlue’s experienced team and always-on
services make governance, planning, resource allocation, and
innovation easier than ever – without sacrificing security.”
"Today marks a significant milestone as we officially launch
LevelBlue, our standalone managed security services joint venture,”
said Rick Welday, EVP of AT&T Enterprise Markets. “As we
continue to embed more security capabilities into our core network,
this venture simultaneously allows us to stay one step ahead of
evolving cyber threats and foster innovation in the cybersecurity
space. We look forward to the opportunities and capabilities
LevelBlue brings to the market."
LevelBlue serves as a trusted advisor to manage risk while
businesses focus on customer satisfaction and growth, by offering

dynamic computing environment, transform the network to optimize
security, identify areas of cyber risk proactively, and prescribe
preventative tactics to protect critical assets.

Computing complexity continues to grow and impact business.
Through LevelBlue’s managed security services, organizations can

and three global Network Operations Centers (NOCs) that are always
on and monitored 24/7/365. LevelBlue works with best-of-breed
vendors to offer comprehensive analytics, reporting capabilities,

“Cybersecurity complexity continues to increase. Organizations
spanning all sectors and sizes need help from trusted third-party
advisors on their journey to cyber resiliency,” said Christina
