Digicel Business protects BVI businesses with secure mobile plans

Tortola, British Virgin Islands – Wednesday 26th April 2023 – Digicel Business has launched Lookout Mobile Security – a new detection and prevention service to protect businesses and their employees from application, network and device attacks via mobile devices while maintaining 100% privacy on any network, mobile or wifi.

Digicel Business offers Lookout Mobile Security with all of its mobile plans at no extra charge. Shocking statistics show why maintaining robust levels of security is essential for all businesses. According to Fortinet, the global leader in unified threat management solutions, there were 144 million cyber attack attempts in 2022, with 70% of all attacks coming through mobile devices.

The study also showed that 95% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error with 60% of people reusing old passwords thereby making themselves more vulnerable to an attack.

Lookout Mobile Security protects businesses from the following threats:

• Application threats – alert users to malicious apps seeking to steal sensitive business or personal data; and to insecure apps that breach company policies or compliance requirements.

• Network threats – send an alert to users if they are about to join an unencrypted network.

• Device threats – alert users to operating system vulnerabilities, such as out-of-date software or the lack of password protection.

• Web and Content (phishing) – VPN and alerting, notify users to phishing attempts from browsers, email and SMS.
