AT&T has announced that they are working on a new solution for mobile security issues, partnering with Juniper Networks and offering a new security application. Available later this year, the app will address some key concerns in both the enterprise as well as for consumers. A bullet point look at the applications goals:
Businesses and Organizations
- Maintain compliance with government regulations
- Enforce security policies
- Manage personal or enterprise-owned devices
- Enable anti-virus, anti-malware, and application monitoring and control
Consumers
- Protect mobile devices with anti-virus, anti-malware, and application monitoring and control
With the global growth of smartphone adoption, targeting the mobile space has become popular among unsavory types, and it makes sense to see carriers trying to slow the growth of malware and other security concerns. AT&T Chief Security Officer Ed Amoroso details AT&T’s approach in a short video, which we've embedded after the break, along with the full press release.
