Orange Cyberdefense Launches “Mobile Threat
Protection”, a New Offer to Protect Mobile
Device Fleets from Cyberattacks
-
Ensures
360° mobile protection by adding threat detection
capabilities to iOS and Android devices
- Enhances
Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) systems and automates
threat prevention
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.
