MobileIron Threat Defense includes multi-vector threat detection and remediation to protect iOS and Android devices from phishing attacks waged at the device, network and application level MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 9 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- MobileIron (NASDAQ:MOBL), the mobile-centric security platform for the Everywhere Enterprise, today announced multi-vector mobile phishing protection for iOS and Android devices to help organizations defend against one of the top cybersecurity threats. MobileIron Threat Defense (MTD) now offers on-device and cloud-based phishing URL database lookup to detect and remediate phishing attacks across all mobile threat vectors, including text and SMS messages, instant messages, social media and other modes of communication, beyond just corporate email. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200708005095/en/ Verizon’s 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report found that credential theft and social attacks such as phishing cause the majority of breaches, with almost one-quarter (22%) of all data breaches involving phishing specifically. Credentials were the most common attribute compromised in phishing attacks, although many other data types were also well represented. “Phishing is a simple, yet highly lucrative method for hackers,” said Brian Foster, SVP of product management at MobileIron. “All it takes is one click on a malicious link for a hacker to compromise a user’s ID and password, and gain access to a goldmine of data. Unfortunately, hackers are exploiting enterprise security gaps amid the COVID-19 pandemic and increasingly targeting mobile devices and applications, which remote workers are using more than ever before to access corporate data. And these mobile phishing attacks are likely to succeed, as it is very hard to verify the authenticity of links on a mobile device. The mobile user interface also makes it difficult to access and view key information, while prompting users to make fast decisions. Companies urgently need a mobile threat defense solution that detects and remediates phishing attacks across all threat vectors, beyond just corporate email, while empowering employees everywhere to be productive.” Built on MobileIron’s leading unified endpoint management (UEM) product, MTD offers immediate, on-device phishing protection. There is no end user action required to deploy MTD on mobile devices that are enrolled in MobileIron’s UEM client; this is remotely managed by IT departments. As a result, organizations can achieve 100% user adoption, without impacting productivity. MobileIron is the only solution on the market that can automatically deploy mobile threat protection without users needing to take any action. This is critical because if security gets in the way of productivity, users will find a way around it. “Organizations urgently need to bolster their anti-phishing technical controls, without impacting end user productivity,” said Phil Hochmuth, Program Vice President, Enterprise Mobility, IDC. “Phishing attacks are at an all-time high, with hackers capitalizing on people’s fears and using coronavirus-themed messages to deceive victims. In addition to conducting mandatory security awareness training, companies should enroll employee devices in a UEM platform and implement mobile threat defense capabilities to effectively defend against mobile phishing attacks. And organizations should take UX very seriously when evaluating mobile security solutions, as a seamless user experience is critical to success.” MobileIron’s recent Trouble at the Top study revealed that C-suite executives often feel frustrated by security protocols and request to bypass them, despite being highly targeted by cyberattacks, including phishing attacks. The study also found that 60% of IT decision makers believe that phishing is the most significant mobile security threat faced by their organization. With MTD, organizations can ensure seamless and continuous on-device phishing protection for employees everywhere - even on devices without internet connectivity. Organizations can choose whether to expand MTD’s multi-vector phishing protection to include cloud-based phishing URL database lookup. This enables organizations to control the balance between security and user privacy. MTD also enables organizations to improve their overall security posture and comply with regulatory requirements. To further secure their digital workplaces and reduce the risk of breaches, organizations can implement MobileIron zero sign-on for secure and passwordless authentication to enterprise cloud services. By leveraging mobile device authentication with biometric-based access, organizations can eliminate passwords, which are the primary point of compromise in phishing attacks. MobileIron’s multi-vector phishing protection is now available on iOS devices. These capabilities will extend to Android devices soon.

Recently, two local news about China's Dongguan city have gained wide attention from the Chinese media. One is that a message left by a migrant worker for Dongguan Library called forth heated discussions around city culture and spirits on the Internet. The other is the broadcast of the documentary about Dongguan food culture named "A Bite of Dongguan" has aroused people's pursuit for a better life. Wu Guichun, a 54-year-old man from Hubei, China, has been working in Dongguan for 17 years. He works hard to support his family and help his child to finish graduate study. Recently, he was unemployed due to the epidemic. Before returning home, he came to Dongguan Library and left his message. "I have been to Dongguan for 17 years and been reading books in the library for 12 years. Books make men wise and pose no harm to people. When I think of my life in Dongguan these years, the best place is the library. Although I am reluctant to leave, I will never forget you, Dongguan Library, for the rest of my life," Wu Guichun wrote on the message board. Wu Guichun, as a migrant rural worker, showed affection to books and to Dongguan, which received wide attention from Chinese netizens and timely response from the local government. With the help of relevant departments, he found new job opportunities. Statistics show that by the end of 2019, Dongguan's permanent migrant population is nearly 6 million, accounting for more than 70% of the city's total population. Xiao Yafei, mayor of the city, said at the 2020 two sessions of Dongguan that giving priority to employment stability and protecting people's livelihood are two of the main expected goals for Dongguan throughout the year. Wu Guichun said that Dongguan has a good urban environment and is very accommodating to migrant workers. Everyone here can equally enjoy free and high-quality public cultural services, which helps enrich his spiritual life and expand his knowledge. Some social observers believe, one of the important measures that China take to cope with the economic downturn is to improve people's livelihood on aspects like education, medical care, ecological environment and public services, in ways to optimize the business environment and quality of life, thus making market entities and residents have a sense of happiness and gain. It is a great way to stimulate market vitality and help China's economic recovery. According to the "2019 Business Environment Report of China's Cities", Dongguan ranks fifth among China's economy-active cities. In building an enabling international business environment, Dongguan focuses on creating an open and inclusive city culture to attract global production factors. Meanwhile, a documentary film "A Bite of Dongguan" is being broadcast. It presents more than 130 kinds of Dongguan's local ingredients and dishes. Through a series of lively characters and stories, it demonstrates the unique humanistic environment that integrates traditional and modern culture, native and other culture. The documentary was officially launched on June 21st. As of July 1st, it has received more than 27 million reviews and many positive comments. The production team of the documentary said that Dongguan, the coastal city in southern China, has attracted large-scale immigration from northern China for more than 1,600 years during its development. The migrants combined their diet traditions with local features to form a variety of cuisines. Same as the documentary named "The Era of Manufacturing" shown, people are always the core of Dongguan city and the main contributing factors to its inclusiveness and quality. The first episode "The Marvelous Workmen" highlights the human power in the industry of Dongguan by telling the stories of local factory workers. Some netizens said the developed manufacturing industry has labeled Dongguan as a "world factory". Visitors from the world have brought many delicacies, like Shaanxi noodle and Guangxi rice noodle, Xinjiang grill and Guangdong grilled oysters, Korean barbecue and Japanese cuisine, all of which make Dongguan's diet culture more inclusive. As the spread of the epidemic is under control in China, the catering industry, known as a "barometer" of consumption condition, has gradually returned to normal. The broadcast of this documentary at this time is also of great significance to driving consumption and promoting economic recovery. Food can also warm people's hearts. The documentary allows more people to understand the milk of human kindness of the famous manufacturing city. Meals manifest people's love to life and the city's inclusiveness. As Wu Guichun said, "We feel it at home in Dongguan." The inclusive city will attract more and more investors, businessmen and workers to invest, work and live in.

PARIS, July 2 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and authentication solutions, today announced the launch of a French solutions portfolio and the appointment of Frederic Ly as its first sales leader for the region. This expansion comes at a time when COVID-19 is expediting digital transformation efforts around the globe. A June 15 report from Le Conseil National du Numérique offers insights on the future of identity management and verification in France. The report explains that while the French government aims to fully digitise all of its administrative processes by 2022, it is essential to build secure digital identity processes and facilitate people's access to digital services. Today 92.4% of French people use the internet, and 59% use social networks, and the trend is increasing. Jumio’s answer is a biometric solution where your face is your password, and online identity verification is as easy as a selfie. Driven by legislation and consumer appetite for a fully digital online experience, identity verification — a key component to any digital transformation strategy — is high on the agenda for many French companies, as it offers strong competitive advantage and helps meet Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) mandates. Jumio’s new French portfolio of end-to-end identity verification solutions helps organisations fight fraud, maintain compliance and onboard customers faster, to quickly and reliably verify a user’s online identity and definitively answer if they are who they claim to be. Based in Paris, Ly will spearhead the company’s regional expansion and build on Jumio’s long-standing commitment to serve financial service organisations, telcos and the sharing economy by establishing a French regional sales center to strategically serve those sectors, and deliver localised solutions to French-speaking markets. With a background in artificial intelligence and technology sales, Ly will focus on expanding the company’s client base, growing relationships with existing clients and cultivating a sustainable network of channel and technology partners. Ly has over 20 years of experience building sales strategies and growth for local and international technology companies including AI software company Collective Thinking and digital services provider Econocom. “We are really excited to grow the team in France in order to better serve the needs of our local customers and partners,” said Dean Hickman-Smith, Jumio chief revenue officer. “Most industries have been swept up in the whirlwind of digital transformation, recently accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. And customer expectations are driving many of these changes — they want to be able to open a new account anytime, anywhere and in a matter of minutes. Jumio’s technology offers tremendous opportunities to optimise and expedite the process.” mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=37675 |
