Military-Grade Mobile Endpoint Security and Encrypted BYOD Communications

Assac Networks builds secure-communication and mobile endpoint protection software for organizations that treat the smartphone as their weakest security link. Founded in 2011 by veterans of the Israeli defense and security industries and headquartered in Tel Aviv, the company sells into law enforcement and intelligence agencies, government and defense ministries, large enterprises, mobile operators, and managed security service providers. It now operates as part of the Aspis Cyber group, with a product line spanning mobile, desktop, and VoIP endpoints.

The core product, ShieldiT, installs as an application on employee-owned iOS and Android handsets rather than requiring issued hardware, which is how the vendor supports BYOD policies. It applies end-to-end encryption to voice calls, video calls, messaging, and file transfers, carries VoIP-to-PSTN traffic across secure bridges, and layers host intrusion detection and malware protection on the device itself. Anti-theft controls cover remote lock, device tracking, and remote wipe, with communications traversing TLS 1.2 channels.

Pairing that endpoint agent with ManageIT, a centralized multi-tenant console for policy, real-time alerting, compliance archiving, and fleet monitoring, is the combination the vendor leans on, since service providers can run their own dashboards for downstream corporate clients. Positioning rests on defense provenance: patented military-grade endpoint claims, ISO 27001-controlled encryption using a customer's own certificate, and delivery work for Elbit Systems' C4I and Cyber division. Differentiation in the narrow secure-communications niche comes from software-only deployment onto existing devices rather than hardened handsets.
