Tel Aviv: Israeli company Assac Networks, part of Aspis Cyber Technologies Inc. and a specialised provider of cyber solutions for the comprehensive protection of communication devices used by government agencies, defence, and commercial organisations, has been awarded a significant contract by a governmental authority in Asia for the deployment of ShieldiT Black—a dedicated mobile security solution, designed to safeguard sensitive data and communications in high-risk environments that ensures complete immunity from hacking and tapping.
ShieldiT Black is a hardened mobile device that comes pre-installed with all security features during the phone hardening process by Assac Networks, ensuring that it is fully secured and ready for use upon delivery. The device provides encrypted communications, including secure VoIP technology for private voice and video calls, as well as end-to-end encryption for text messages, files, and media. It also features real-time threat detection with anti-malware capabilities, OS vulnerability management, and motion detection for unauthorised access prevention.
The system includes a comprehensive management platform, enabling real-time monitoring and seamless integration with existing IT infrastructures. Additional advanced security layers include a non-removable ShieldiT security app, ensuring that security protocols remain intact even in case of tampering attempts, as well as a secured profile for corporate apps, which creates an encrypted partition to isolate corporate data.
Anti-UFED protection prevents unauthorised data extraction, while strict data-sharing controls prevent unauthorised transfers between personal and corporate applications. The system is ISO 27001 certified, ensuring compliance with international security standards.
“This agreement underscores the growing demand for our advanced mobile security solutions among government entities worldwide,” said Shimon Zigdon, CEO of Assac Networks.
“In an era where mobile devices are a prime target for cyberattacks, ShieldiT Black provides an unparalleled level of security, ensuring that sensitive government communications remain completely protected,” Zigdon added.
The implementation of ShieldiT Black will commence in the coming months, reinforcing the authority’s cybersecurity infrastructure and ensuring its personnel operate in a fully secure digital environment.
