Consistent cyber breaches and attacks can make businesses vulnerable, leading to compromised operations, losing trust with customers and loss in significant revenue. For this reason, companies are investing into IT solutions to help protect their employee’s smartphones.  

MTD software protects mobile devices and smartphones, both online and offline. Not only does the software block threats and alert users, but it also detects and remediates problems. MTD can act against zero-day vulnerabilities.
