Orange Cyberdefense, the Orange Group’s entity that
specializes in cybersecurity, and Check Point Software
Technologies have teamed up to
deliver a new Orange service called Mobile Threat Protection to help multinational
enterprises safeguard their mobile device fleets against current and emerging
threats.
The frequency of mobile attacks is growing – and
no-one is immune. Business is carried out more and more on mobile devices,
dramatically increasing the likelihood of a network attack or infection. A recent report by Dimensional Research found that two out of 10 enterprises have already experienced a mobile
cyberattack, with an even larger number totally unaware they have been
breached.
Mobile Threat Protection
Based on Check Point Sandblast Mobile technology,
Mobile Threat Protection is an Orange managed service. It embeds an easy-to-deploy
app that runs in the background of the user’s device. It protects the device
with accurate threat detection and alerts to attacks, without impacting device
performance or battery life. The service runs on both iOS and Android platforms
and is not tied to any specific carrier. An admin dashboard gives a global
outlook of the fleet security and provides detailed threat analysis.
Mobile Threat Protection can detect next-generation
malware together with vulnerabilities in networks, operating systems and apps,
as well as SMS phishing. It defends mobile devices from a wide range of attacks,
including malware infected apps, man-in-the-middle attacks on compromised
public Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks, operating system exploits and the fast-expanding
trend for sending malicious links through SMS.
Orange Mobile Threat Protection can be used as a
standalone managed service to highlight threat visibility, letting companies adapt
security policies accordingly, or integrated directly into mobile device
management solutions to automate threat remediation and shorten risk exposure. This
includes Orange Device Management Premium, an EMM managed service which enables
enterprises to manage mobile deployments and enforce corporate data security policies
using a granular compliance engine. Both services are supported by Orange
mobile experts who provide 24/7 support and ongoing training to improve
end-users awareness in securely managing sensitive data.
“As attacks become more frequent and sophisticated
our customers are looking to shore up their mobile security. Our Mobile Threat
Protection managed service provides a comprehensive and easy-to deploy solution
to help secure mobile devices from advanced cyber threats now – and in the
future,” said Michel Van Den Berghe, CEO of Orange Cyberdefense.
“We are excited to collaborate with Orange Business
Services to deliver this level of cyber protection to mobile users,” said
Nathan Shuchami, Vice President of Emerging Products at Check Point Software Technologies.
“As a direct result of the close relationship between our companies, we are
empowering enterprises to adopt mobile technology without the worry of data
loss or breach.”
Orange Cyberdefense is the Orange Group’s entity
dedicated to developing and delivering end-to-end cybersecurity solutions for
global enterprises. It assembles over 1,000 experts across 7 SOCs (Security
Operation Centers), 2 CyberSOCs (Cyber Security Operation Center) and 3 CERT
(Computer Emergency Response Teams) in locations in France and around the
globe.
