Mobile phone operator Vodafone has launched a new mobile security solution for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The solution, VDC, claims to enable businesses to protect and control employees’ mobile device usage and aid GDPR compliance according to Vodafone Ireland.
VDC is built on Asavie Moda, a cloud-based, self-service solution, enabling employees to work securely on any device, from anywhere. It offers network protection against business mobile threats and zero-day exploits, and its essential mobile device management (MDM) capabilities enable companies to physically protect the device with password, lock, locate and wipe features.
This helps businesses comply with Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by securing the mobile device and the data on the device. It also helps businesses control the costs of employee mobile data usage and avoid experiencing “bill shock” when an employee exceeds their data plan.
Ralph Shaw, CEO, Asavie said, “We are pleased to partner with Vodafone on the launch of VDC. VDC proactively addresses the risks and regulatory concerns of running a mobile workforce in today’s hyper-connected world.
“Any company operating today without a robust mobile security and data control solution runs the risk of exposing itself to a variety of financial and regulatory policy breaches. Our solution is a win-win option for any company struggling to gain visibility and control of how its employees are using their mobile phones while protecting them into the bargain.”
Asavie enables enterprises to harness the power of the internet of things and mobile devices to transform and scale their businesses. Its strategic partners include AT&T, Telefonica, Verizon, Vodafone, as well as Arrow, AWS, Dell and MultiTech.
With the Global Data Protection Regulation set to be implemented in May, a number companies have recently launched solutions to assist with meeting compliance. Dublin-based Corvil recently launched a new security analytics solution, to help identify malicious behaviour, while London-based Pontus Vision launched an open source GDPR solution for financial institutions.
