HOD HASHARON, Israel,
Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Allot Communications Ltd.
(NASDAQ: ALLT; TASE: ALLT), a leading provider of security and
monetization solutions that enable service providers and
enterprises to protect and personalize the digital experience,
today released Allot MobileTrends H1/2017 Report: Consumer View
on Mobile Security.
The survey asked consumers what they know about online threats;
their readiness to adopt mobile security services; and their
perception of the service provider's role in protecting them
online. Results showed that 89% of consumers currently do not pay
for mobile security services. The survey also reveals that mobile
consumers in every region, representing 61% overall, want and are
willing to pay for protection services from their service
provider.
Rather than independently seek out, evaluate and download
security apps for each of their mobile devices, consumers would
like a one-stop-shop for online protection for themselves and their
families. This presents Communication Service Providers (CSPs) with
a huge opportunity to be the provider of personal mobile security
services from their network.
Key Findings:
- 68% of mobile Internet consumers say they are aware of malware.
Of these, 1 in 7 consumers have experienced a malware attack in the
past 12 months.
- 26% of consumers contact the CSP when facing a malware
incident. The same percentage of consumers contact the app
developer and most consumers (35%) contact no one.
- 89% of consumers do not pay to protect their mobile device(s)
against online threats.
- 61% of global respondents said they would like to buy a
security service from their CSP for their connected devices.
"CSPs have a huge opportunity to be proactive and deliver
relevant protection," said Yaniv
Sulkes, AVP Marketing at Allot Communications. "Our survey
has revealed consumers are demanding simplified protection for
their various connected devices and are willing to pay for it. CSPs
are best placed to address this industry-wide issue and improve the
customer experience."
Allot will be showcasing a live demonstration of a network-based
security service at Mobile World Congress 2017, taking place
in Barcelona from February 27 through March 2, at its booth in
Hall 5 Stand 5G41.
