Bell | Communications | 40390 | $24.4B | Canada | NowSecure | NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management | Risk Management | 2025 | n/a | In 2025, Bell implemented NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management to manage mobile app risk across its consumer and enterprise mobile services. The deployment places NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management at the center of Bell's Risk Management approach for mobile application security and supply chain vetting. Implementation scope included automated mobile application security testing, continuous DevSecOps integration to shift security earlier in development, and third party mobile app vetting to assess supply chain risk. The NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management implementation leveraged static and dynamic analysis and centralized visibility to instrument app security posture across Bell's mobile estate. Operational integrations emphasized embedding NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management into development and release workflows, enabling security gates in DevSecOps pipelines and consolidated reporting for mobile engineering, security operations, and procurement teams. The rollout targeted Bell's consumer and enterprise mobile services within its Canadian telecommunications operations and centralized app security telemetry for cross functional review. Governance changes formalized third party component vetting, established automated testing gates, and created developer feedback loops to accelerate remediation. The deployment produced improved visibility into mobile app security and automated testing across Bell's mobile services as described in the NowSecure case study. | |
