The Problem
Protecting cellular-connected IoT and mobile endpoints is costly and complex
Securing billions of cellular-connected IoT and mobile devices is a growing challenge. Traditional solutions like VPNs and firewalls can't scale to meet today's needs, resulting in poor visibility, complex remote access, increased security risks, and soaring costs. Connectivity gaps and latency across global networks disrupt performance, and managing multiple contracts adds operational strain.
As the connected IoT market grows worldwide in the coming years, these issues will only become more critical.
