Deutsche Telekom announced last Friday that it will support business customers with a new service to protect against attacks on mobile phones and tablets. APPVISORY Secure App Check service automatically checks application security and data protection. Technology supported by artificial intelligence (AI) scans apps for vulnerabilities before and after installation.
This service detects malicious apps before they reach devices or corporate networks. This allows businesses to discover security vulnerabilities faster. It also reduces the risk of violating internal regulations or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This applies to programs in public app stores as well as internal and proprietary corporate apps. Once the analysis is complete, the technology provides information on how customers can close app holes. We’ll also give you advice on how to better protect your apps in the future.
AI supports cyber defense in real time.
Once the app is successfully installed, the new service will not stop working and will continue to monitor the app. This service alerts customers if they are about to download a dangerous update. You can then suppress the download. Conversely, if a patch for a security vulnerability is available, this solution also mandates an update.Further information
