Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, has been awarded the 2024 Fortress Cybersecurity Award by Business Intelligence Group . The Fortress Cybersecurity Awards recognize global leaders and individuals who are leading the way through cybersecurity innovation.

“Receiving the Fortress Cybersecurity Award is a special honor,” said Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO at Quectel Wireless Solutions. “This recognition confirms our commitment to providing secure and reliable IoT solutions that protect our customers’ data and operations.
