Having been successfully deployed by more than 750 operators, VCAS is well-suited to protect even the largest, most popular service offerings. In addition, VCAS is both flexible and scalable, enabling Swisscom to easily expand their security coverage beyond the managed network to mobile devices of all kinds."
