Leading managed network services and cloud solutions provider MetTel has announced a strategic partnership with cybersecurity solutions provider Check Point Software Technologies. The partnership, coming about in an era of increased consolidation and collaboration in the tech and cybersecurity industries, is intended to deliver enhanced mobile protection to enterprise customers. The rise of remote and hybrid workforces in the last several years and cybercriminals’ continued efforts to advance their attacks have created a threat landscape that demands updated technologies and methods in mobile security.
The Threat Landscape
The evolution of the threat landscape, especially in mobile security, provides relevant context for this partnership between MetTel and Check Point. According to Check Point Research’s State of Cyber Security 2025 report, over 60% of global internet traffic in 2024 was from mobile devices. Mobile data can be extremely sensitive and often is not sufficiently secured against security incidents of all kinds, including phishing, malicious apps, OS vulnerabilities, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Cybercriminals are aware of this discrepancy in security measures, and many choose to specifically target mobile devices for this reason. In Verizon’s 2024 Mobile Security Index, 53% of respondents state that their organization experienced a security incident involving mobile or IoT devices that caused data loss or downtime, and 47% reported that these mobile-related incidents had major organizational impacts.
The Solution: Mobile Threat Defense
The new Mobile Threat Defense solution from MetTel is a fully managed service that offers comprehensive protection against mobile threats. The solution is intended to provide organizations secure access to corporate data while protecting privacy and preserving a smooth user experience. Powered by Check Point Harmony Mobile, the solution benefits from Check Point’s market-leading mobile protection capabilities across apps, files, network, and OS vectors.
In addition to advanced threat protection functionality, the service enables seamless integration with mobile device management platforms. As a fully managed service, the Mobile Threat Defense solution simplifies the process of deployment, management, and support for enterprises.
