Telefónica and Etisalat Digital extended their existing agreement for Security Services which aims to conduct extensive research in monitoring and analysing mobile threats for applications and devices.
Francisco Salcedo, Senior Vice President, Etisalat Digital said “This announcement is significant as mobility has moved beyond devices, apps and online transactions to a connected ecosystem. This transformation has made mobile platforms vulnerable and an easy target for cybercriminals. The collaboration and the deployment at Etisalat Digital’s Cyber Security Operating Centres will enable both partners to provide a solution for enterprises to control fraudulent activity which directly impacts its services, brand or reputation.”
Telefónica and Etisalat Digital will work with Tacyt, a cyber intelligence mobile threat tool developed by ElevenPaths, -Telefónica Cyber Security Unit-. Tacyt uses a big data approach for mobile app environment research and an enterprise-grade service to conduct full investigations, including mobile malware classification, attribution, categorization, and monitoring.
Pedro Pablo, Telefónica Global Security Managing Director & ElevenPaths CEO said: “We are pleased to collaborate with Etisalat Digital to conduct this in-depth research and analysis on mobile threats. Cyber analysts can use Tacyt for manual or automated search, matching, and investigation of different parameters (metadata) within iOS and Android apps.”
