Enterprise IT vendor IBM announced its mobile cloud solution deal from AT&T, a leading telecom network operator in the U.S.
AT&T and IBM can deliver a scalable mobile cloud solution to protect corporate data and apps – enabling workforce at enterprises to be productive without compromising security and the mobile user experience.
“More employees are using mobile devices to be more productive. At the same time, data and apps are moving to the cloud. The changes are exciting, but security needs to be top-of-mind,” said Steve McGaw, chief marketing officer, AT&T Business Solutions.
The AT&T Cybersecurity Insights report states that its experts have seen a 62 percent increase in DDoS attacks over the past 2 years. The increasing use and value of mobile data has created a challenge for CIOs looking to connect customers, partners and employees across devices.
The AT&T and IBM mobile cloud security solution will help customers secure the device, connectivity and data.
