MetTel has announced that it will be introducing the ultra-secure Sotera SecurePhone from Sotera Digital Security to its government and commercial enterprise customers. They will now have access to the same secure communication technology that powers some of the most critical and sensitive systems in the world in a mobile form factor. The operating system that powers the Sotera SecurePhone is the same operating system that is trusted to secure the United States nuclear arsenal, commercial airliners, and NASA space systems.
The Sotera SecurePhone is validated by Netragard, a highly reputable, third-party penetration testing organization which has confirmed that the Sotera SecurePhone is the most secure mobile communication device available. Netragard provides offensive and defensive security services to the US Department of Defense.
The Sotera SecurePhone joins a growing, robust line-up of security offerings from MetTel that include a range of network and endpoint-based solutions.
Max Silber, Vice President of Mobility and IoT, MetTel
Security and privacy are of utmost importance to individuals working with sensitive information, and mobile communications have always been a prime target for data and identity theft. The Sotera SecurePhone allows our customers to communicate anywhere without fear of their sensitive information being exposed by malicious actors.
David Kay, CEO, Sotera Digital Security
We are extremely excited to work with a B2B partner having the industry-recognized caliber of MetTel to offer our Sotera SecurePhone. Now MetTel users can protect their companies’ sensitive communications with an efficient, affordable and completely secure solution. Smartphone devices and their operating systems have known vulnerability risks, but what is perhaps most concerning is how reliant enterprise executives and government officials are on applications such as Signal and WhatsApp. Many responsible leaders are not aware that using these applications are not advisable for confidential communications. While they may be secure in their own right, these applications are used on hardware and software that is not. If the phone’s hardware or software is hacked, then so are the apps.
