DALLAS, April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 802 Secure,
Inc.1 has been partnered with AT&T for the immediate
deployment of AirShield™, a first-class enterprise wireless
Internet-of-Things (IoT) defense technology, throughout
the United States. Two of the most
active and high-traffic IoT regions have rolled out AirShield™ via
the Dallas, Texas-based AT&T
Control Center2, with 1,000s of AT&T personnel to be
trained on the new product and associated SaaS service
offerings.
The much-anticipated new cybersecurity offering, currently in
adoption by government agencies for the AirShield™ P25CleanRF, has
been released to support AT&T's enterprise-scale wireless
security requirements and standards, designed to monitor wireless
airspace, taking proactive actions to mitigate loss – prior to
incident occurrence.
The partnership with the 2014-founded Silicon Valley startup
marks a new mission by the global Fortune-100 (NYSE: T) telecom
giant to secure the ever-growing IoT (Internet-of-Things) demands.
The cloud-based offering boasts intrusion detection/deception,
vulnerability assessment, and advanced IoT threats prevention.
Founder and CEO, Garry Drummond,
says:
"ABI Research estimates
that more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to
the Internet of Things by 20201. With the
'inter-connectivity of everything' becoming the next information
revolution, new risks and threats are upon us, and our partnerships
with AT&T, Optiv and Carahsoft will be crucial in helping our
customers."
802 Secure product engineers have nearly completed integration
with the AT&T Control Center, lead by COO, Amrit Williams DePaulo, previously Director and
CTO for IBM's Endpoint business in Emerging Security
Technologies.
Of the partnership and wireless-defense mission, AT&T's AVP
Product Marketing Security Solutions, Tina
Hampton, says,
"802 Secure is using AT&T
Control Center because it is a highly secure platform they can
utilize to offer security and visibility in IoT deployments,
helping in detecting and mitigating the risk associated with
the Internet of Things."
AT&T will roll out the AirShield™ solution across all 5
major sales regions in the United
States by early 2017, training sales force and deployment
specialists nationwide. 802 Secure executive staff has been
collaborating daily with AT&T to continue to develop forums and
cyber-education about the new wireless IoT airspace and its threats
in cyber security for the entire IoT market of the future.
