The Lumen Security team has also built a Digital Experience portal that customers can access 24 / 7 , and choose the security services they need ( with help to achieve the right configuration ) to take the best advantage of Lumen ’ s scrubbing technology .
Lighting the Pathway to Success Smith ’ s goal for the Lumen security portfolio is to achieve profitable growth while further establishing Lumen as the platform for amazing things . “ If you consider all the legacy companies that have come together to form Lumen , there was a time where some of the additions to our current portfolio weren ' t making any money . I came from some of those companies . But we ' re never going to go back to a place that looks like that ,” he pledges .
Lumen is also putting tremendous efforts into an edge compute strategy . “ We believe it ' s about application performance and building the platform that helps these applications of the future perform the way that they need to , by being closer to where they ' re consumed ,” says Smith . “ That involves the network , the facilities and the platform orchestration we ' re going to deliver . Delivering security for our customers will be a big part of that .” businesschief . com 229
