Deutsche Telekom announced that it will begin offering "Mobile Protect Pro" from its Magenta Security portfolio, providing complete protection for mobile devices. What is more, with Mobile Protect Pro, Deutsche Telekom now has a solution in its portfolio that is compatible not only with Android devices but also with devices running the iOS operating system.
The new solution, which has been developed by Zimperium, is based on machine-learning algorithms that can identify even previously unknown attacks. By interpreting thousands of operating system parameters, the solution can detect anomalies produced by attacks such as "zero-day exploits," i.e. attacks launched against security vulnerabilities even before they become known. Mobile Protect Pro thus provides "continuous EKG" protection for mobile devices, thereby ushering in a new dimension of mobile security.
As of April, Mobile Protect Pro will become available for selected pilot customers, free of charge, and in a proof-of-concept framework. In summer 2016, it will become available to business customers for their regular operations.

Mobile Protect Pro will usher in a new era in mobile security for Deutsche Telekom's business customers. It will provide an entirely new level of security. While no one can prevent cyber attacks, we can offer our customers excellent protection.
Dr. Shridhar Mittal, CEO of Zimperium
As malicious hackers shift their attention to mobile devices, we are laser-focused on helping companies and employees get protection against the broadest array of Device, Network, and Application based mobile attacks, in real-time.
