Deutsche Telekom Group's security division and new partner plan to offer joint solutions to enterprise customers.

The aim is to better protect companies from attacks on cloud, network and mobile phones. Palo Alto Networks already protects more than 70,000 customers.    The head of Telekom Security and VP, Dirk Backofen said, "Hackers massively try to infiltrate the cloud, network and mobile phones of companies. And the attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated. With Palo Alto Networks, we are working with an innovative leader in the cyber security technology. So, we will better fend off attacks on companies in real time.” Deutsche Telekom recently counted a peak of 71 million daily attacks on its digital honeypots. Attackers are also increasingly targeting the corporate cloud, hence Telekom Security reckons the market for cloud security is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 14% up to 2022. Employees' phones are also a possible gateway for hackers. In the clouds Palo Alto Networks states it offers a 360-degree view of security: Telekom Security will integrate cloud security based on the Prisma Cloud, mobile access via Prisma Access, and managed threat detection and response based on Cortex. The solutions rely on artificial intelligence to predict attacks as well as responding to them. Christian Hentschel, President, Palo Alto Networks EMEA, remarked, “The enterprise and service provider markets require comprehensive, integrated, end-to-end and highly automated security solutions and services. This partnership with our suite of technology solutions delivers just that.”

Google reveals global user mobility data during Covid-19

Google began employing location data to compile reports covering the mobility of specific communities across the world, in a bid to help public health officials tackle the ongoing Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. In a joint blog Jen Fitzpatrick, SVP of engineering and product management at the company’s Geo unit, and chief health officer at Google Health Karen DeSalvo said from today (3 April) the company will issue a series of reports showing movement trends in recreation locations such as parks; retail outlets including grocery stores and pharmacies; transportation networks; workplaces; and homes. Google noted its reports will use “aggregated, anonymised sets of data” from users who have switched on the location history setting in their Google account. The internet giant pledged not to disclose any identifiable information about individuals’ location, movement and contacts. Google said it was doing that by using “differential privacy, which adds artificial noise to our datasets”. It aims to highlight broader tendencies across a span of several weeks, with the most recent information covering a range of 48 hours to 72 hours. Google will, however, only present details of changes to the percentage of visits to specific locations, rather than a total number. Google is initially covering 131 countries and regions, but plans to add more in the coming weeks. Fitzpatrick and DeSalvo explained the company’s move followed feedback from public health officials that the data “could be helpful as they make critical decisions to combat Covid-19”. Google said it was also working with epidemiologists on an anonymised dataset designed to predict the spread of the pandemic.

European coalition to develop “privacy-preserving” tech for contact tracing

In the fight against Covid-19, a European initiative is to develop smartphone proximity-tracing tools which adhere to European privacy and data protection laws and principles. The Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT) coalition, launched earlier this week, has more than 130 members across eight European countries. These include Vodafone and institutes from The Fraunhofer Society, as well as other scientists, technologists and experts from international research institutions and companies. Contact-tracing apps, which alert users if they have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus, could be key to curbing the spread of the virus and potentially relaxing lockdown measures. They have been used in China, South Korea, Singapore and beyond, and more governments globally are now said to be investigating launching similar tools. However, the approach has raised some civil liberties concerns. “A health crisis must not lead to a weakening of privacy that so many generations before us have fought for,” PEPP-PT said on its website. Standards and technology The site explains, “PEPP-PT makes it possible to interrupt new chains of SARS-CoV-2 transmission rapidly and effectively by informing potentially exposed people. We are a large and inclusive European team. We provide standards, technology, and services to countries and developers. “We embrace a fully privacy-preserving approach. We build on well-tested, fully implemented proximity measurement and scalable backend service. We enable tracing of infection chains across national borders.” The collective is working on a system which uses Bluetooth signals to detect when users are close enough to each other to transmit infection. The data is temporarily stored on phones, rather than a central server, and if users later test positive for the virus, others who have been in contact with them and therefore could be at risk can be traced. Nothing personal No geolocation, personal information or other data are logged that would allow the identification of the user and only local health authorities, deemed ‘trusted’ persons, could download data. This is similar to Singapore’s TraceTogether app but could also be used across borders through the use of country codes. PEPP-PT, which will be incorporated as a non-profit in Switzerland and funded by donations, says its members bring expertise in communication, psychology, epidemiology, proximity tracing, security, privacy, encryption, data protection, application development, scalable systems, supercomputing infrastructure and artificial intelligence. PEPP-PT’s site says the goal is to make technical mechanisms and standards available globally as soon as possible.

Tele2 IoT Helping 9Solutions Provide Nurse Call Systems to Front Line Healthcare Workers

Tele2 IoT is supporting Finland’s 9Solutions to ensure the functionality of healthcare services in exceptional circumstances. Tele2 IoT will help 9Solutions to bring its Nurse Call Lite solution to the healthcare community. Tele2 IoT is proud to be a part of helping 9Solutions to bring its Nurse Call Lite solution to the healthcare community. Tele2 IoT will continue to support them in their efforts to enable medical personnel to work in safe and secure environments. 9Solutions has responded to the fight against Covid-19 battle by introducing Nurse Call Lite, an adaption of its Nurse Call solution. Nurse Call Lite offers a ‘plug-n-play’ solution that facilitates communication between nursing staff and patients in a secure and safe way, as well as management of urgent and non-urgent calls from patients. Nurse Call Lite is particularly suited to field hospital environments, as well as hospital hallways, where overflow patients are currently being treated. The wireless devices are equipped with Tele2 IoT SIMs. “In these challenging times, we all need to help out in any way we can. We are happy to be part of this solution and we hope that it will make a big difference for both patients and healthcare workers“, says Fredrik Stenberg, CEO of Tele2 IoT. Tele2 IoT responded to our connectivity needs within 45 minutes. The response was fast, professional, and the team helped us with whatever we needed, says Sami Herrala, CEO 9Solutions. Equally important was roaming. No one can guarantee that a specific mobile network will be working at any given time or at any particular location, so Tele2 IoT’s roaming solution is incredibly important, Sami Herrala concludes. 9Solutions is Finland’s leading provider of safety location and communication systems, as well as intelligent care systems. The 9Solutions system is used by more than 1,100 healthcare organizations, including care home, hospitals, and home care.
