In the recent work-from-anywhere world, mobile security is no longer optional

In the recent work-from-anywhere world, mobile security is no longer optional.

With employees accessing more sensitive corporate information via mobile devices, organisations face growing risks from phishing attacks, malicious apps, OS vulnerabilities, and network-based threats.

According to market research, 47% of organisations experienced significant repercussions—such as data loss or operational downtime— due to security incidents involving mobile or IoT devices.

Mobile Threat Defense solution

MetTel’s new Mobile Threat Defense solution combats these challenges by delivering end-to-end protection across all mobile attack vectors — apps, files, networks, and operating systems. It leverages static and dynamic threat analysis to detect known and unknown threats, blocks infected devices, and prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.

“Mobile security ranks as the top technology concern for enterprise buyers and MetTel is uniquely positioned to give them confidence that their mobile workforce will be protected from all threats,” said Max Silber, VP of Mobility and IoT at MetTel.

“By integrating Check Point Harmony Mobile into our managed mobility ecosystem, we’re providing customers with a seamless, scalable solution that enhances their security posture while maintaining operational efficiency.”

Fully managed offering for seamless deployment

MetTel’s Mobile Threat Defense solution is delivered as a fully managed service, simplifying deployment, management, and support for enterprise customers. Key features include:

• Monitoring and Support: Real-time threat monitoring, end-user troubleshooting, and escalation paths to Check Point for advanced support.
• Seamless integration with existing mobile device management (MDM) platforms.

“With over 60% of internet traffic coming from mobile devices, they’ve become one of the largest — and most vulnerable — targets in today’s cyber threat landscape,” said Gil Friedrich, GM of Workspace Security at Check Point.

“Our partnership with MetTel brings AI-powered mobile threat prevention to the forefront, empowering enterprise customers to protect their data and operate with confidence, no matter where their work happens.”
