MetTel, a leader in digital transformation and managed mobility solutions, announced a strategic partnership with Check Point Software Technologies to deliver an advanced mobile threat defense solution for enterprise customers.
MetTel’s fully managed Mobile Threat Defense solution, powered by Check Point Harmony Mobile, provides comprehensive protection against mobile cyber threats, ensuring secure access to corporate data without compromising user experience or privacy.
In today’s work-from-anywhere world, mobile security is no longer optional. With employees accessing more sensitive corporate information via mobile devices, organizations face growing risks from phishing attacks, malicious apps, OS vulnerabilities, and network-based threats. According to market research, 47% of organizations experienced significant repercussions — such as data loss or operational downtime — due to security incidents involving mobile or IoT devices.
