How an innovative approach to security has ensured the transformation of the business to Mobility 4.0
Telepass, an Italian company founded in 1989, has always had a great ambition: to simplify people’s lives through technology. Born as a pioneer in the automation of motorway payments, over time it has embarked on a journey of transformation that has made it a protagonist of integrated mobility. From tolls to parking, from deliveries to insurance, from car washes to car rentals, Telepass has been able to interpret and anticipate the needs of a society on the move, offering solutions that improve everyday life.
Between 2016 and 2018, Telepass decided to evolve its role, moving from a simple payment provider to an ecosystem of connected services. This evolution made it necessary to ensure that the technological platform and mobile applications met users’ expectations, both in terms of functionality and security.
Mobisec was chosen by Telepass to work with them on this epochal change. The task was not only to protect, but also to build a solid foundation for Telepass’ future based on innovation.
