KUALA LUMPUR: mTouche Technology Bhd, through its subsidiary MTB Securenet Sdn Bhd, signed a Master Application and Content Provider Agreement with Celcom Axiata Bhd via Celcom Mobile Sdn Bhd.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, mTouche said the agreement was to provide subscribers with its fully Malaysian developed encrypted and secured mobile communication application with a range of features including email.
It added that the application allowed subscribers to communicate safely and confidentially, preventing data from security breach.
“The increasing number of data breaches, hacking and cyber intrusions making headlines around the world today clearly reflects the need for an application like this,” said mTouche Group Chief Executive Officer Zakhir Mohamed.
The application can be used to protect users’ personal data or an organisation’s commercial interest or even national security.
The application is the first in Malaysia for smartphones, utilising the advanced encryption standard (AES)-256 technology, based on state-of-the-art encryption algorithms.
In the future, the application would be made available for tablet computers as well, said Zakhir. – Bernama
