Protecting remote teams from online threats without software deployment

Challenge

A European consulting firm had dozens of analysts working remotely across borders — in cafes, hotels, client offices, and on mobile connections. Devices were unmanaged, and IT had no visibility into whether staff were protected from phishing or malicious websites while traveling. Installing and maintaining endpoint security on personal or unmanaged devices was not scalable.

Solution

The firm enabled MTX Connect NetProtect across its mobile fleet using eSIM. The DNS-layer security was activated centrally — with no software installation, user interaction, or additional setup required. Phishing and malware domains were blocked automatically, and DNS requests were filtered via MTX’s EU-based infrastructure, ensuring GDPR compliance.

Outcome

Within days, the security team observed dozens of blocked phishing attempts and malicious redirect attempts that would have otherwise reached staff. With DNS filtering in place, IT was confident that basic protection was enforced across the entire mobile team — even in roaming and on public Wi-Fi.

“Before NetProtect, we had no control over what our analysts clicked while abroad. Now, they’re protected by default — and we didn’t have to touch their devices.”
