Communications solutions provider MetTel Inc. today announced a new strategic partnership with Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. to deliver an advanced mobile threat defense solution for enterprise customers.

The partnership sees the introduction of MetTel Mobile Threat Defense solution, a fully managed solution powered by Check Point Harmony Mobile that provides protection against mobile cyberthreats and ensures secure access to corporate data without compromising user experience or privacy, according to the company.

The new solution has been designed to address security issues in a world where remote working has become common and mobile security is no longer optional. MetTel argues that with employees accessing more sensitive corporate information via mobile devices, organizations face growing risks from phishing attacks, malicious apps, operating systems vulnerabilities and network-based threats.

The new solution combats these challenges by delivering end-to-end protection across all mobile attack vectors, including 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.

It’s offered as a fully managed service, making it easier for enterprises to deploy, configure and maintain mobile security across their workforce. The solution is easy to set up and includes bulk enrollment capabilities for company-owned devices to ensure rapid and consistent implementation at scale.

Mobile Threat Defense additionally includes real-time threat monitoring, proactive end-user troubleshooting and direct escalation paths to Check Point for advanced technical assistance. It works with existing mobile device management platforms to allow enterprises to enhance their mobile security posture without disrupting current infrastructure or workflows.

“With over 60% of internet traffic coming from mobile devices, they’ve become one of the largest and most vulnerable targets in today’s cyberthreat landscape,” said Gil Friedrich, general manager 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.”

Check Point Harmony Mobile, which powers MetTel’s Mobile Threat Defense solution, uses algorithms and advanced detection techniques to identify risks. The application works across all major operating systems, analyzing device activity.
