Corporate Profile

Yes, you can be sure

Securing computers, networks and mobiles against the increasing complexity of viruses, worms, hackers and other threats calls for commitment, vigilance and intelligence. And above all, uncompromising reliability. At F-Secure we are driven by a single aim: to enable corporates and individuals alike to enjoy the highest levels of permanent IT security. Delivered with outstanding ease of use and dependable support they can trust. That is why, in every recent quarter, we have been growing faster than all our publicly-listed competitors.


For us it's personal

The way we see it, reliable security solutions are only as good as the quality of research and personal dedication that lie behind them. Whether for home computers or complex corporate networks - it is not just about technology tools. It's about people and delivery. This is what we mean by "security as a service". Delivered, in collaboration with our trusted partners, with a passion that puts your protection first, always. Our designers are inspired to make advanced technology so easy to use and manage that protection is almost invisible. We also bring sales, service and support close to where you are - thanks to our partner network of value-added resellers, Internet and IT service providers, mobile operators and retailers. Use of the Internet is constantly evolving, as are the nature and quantity of potential threats. New vulnerabilities appear with each release or upgrade of an application or operating system. By providing security as a service - our unique approach, we give our customers the strongest available protection and the confidence to focus on their ongoing commercial priorities.


Why speed matters

In this business, speed of response is an essential factor in the quality of protection. Minutes can count, literally - often making the difference between whether your systems survive an attack or not. F-Secure has a proven track record of reacting faster to imminent threats and staying one step ahead of the industry in developing protection against new ones. Our proactive technologies together with record reaction times minimize false positives and repeatedly save our customers from attacks that wreak havoc worldwide. What's more, as risk scenarios mutate, our automatic security updates ensure that the best available protection is always at your disposal. As we say, reaction speed matters. Criminals commonly test the malware they develop against commercial heuristic ("proactive") packages.

Did you know that:

  • If a virus protection update is delivered to you only three hours faster, it can reduce the probability of infection by whole orders of magnitude.
  • By contrast, receiving an update just 60 seconds too late can mean that your whole antivirus system is completely disabled.

That's why our renowned ability to pounce on diverse, unpredictable new threats as they appear makes F-Secure your most reliable choice. To find out more about the critical importance of fast response times, click for PDF.

We never sleep

The F-Secure Data Security Lab, staffed with globally recognized virus experts, is on call 24 hours a day. Responding to new and emerging threats. Developing and distributing easy-to-use protection against new viruses within hours of their discovery - and often well in advance of other antivirus vendors. See our real-time virus world map.


Data security for homes and businesses


F-Secure is a leading security solution provider for complex networks and mobile workforces. Today, however, these issues have become a daily concern for companies of all sizes - not to mention individual personal computer and mobile phone users. Whatever the type or size of the security challenge, we have solutions that can be relied on to protect your vital interests.

Centrally-managed security for large enterprises
F-Secure products enable CIO's and IT managers to enforce corporate security policies, limit legal liability, increase employee productivity and reduce network bandwidth consumption. Now that mobile e-mail and remote data access have become increasingly routine, we can also help corporate customers of every size to safeguard their out-of-office communications. Reference customers include Barclays Bank, TeliaSonera, Crédit Agricole, DaimlerChrysler, Honda, BASF, the Finnish Parliament and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

Integrated solution packages for small and medium-size businesses
With F-Secure's resources and service at their disposal, businesses with limited IT staff resources can enjoy the same benefits as larger enterprises. Solutions that are easy to use and manage ensure the highest level of protection. Using our integrated solution packages, a comprehensive, layered defence system can be created to protect your entire IT system - from gateways and servers to desktops and laptops, all the way to mobile phones.

Full-featured protection for homes and small offices
F-Secure provides maintenance-free, easy-to-use protection against viruses and hackers for personal computer users, and even for mobile phones. Once installed, our software is automatically updated and runs in the background, so that security is maintained without any user intervention. You can obtain our products online, at your local retailer or as an option from your Internet service provider.

Mixed environments with Windows, Linux and mobile
To ensure comprehensive protection throughout the infrastructure, we specialize in protecting mixed environments, with powerful solutions for both Linux and Windows platforms, as well as the most popular mobile platforms.

Rootkit protection
Continuing a rich heritage of industry firsts, F-Secure was in 2005 the first antivirus company to include rootkit protection in its Internet security products.


Reliable protection that you can trust


Security as a service - while you mind your own business

Data security is no longer merely a question of technology. Supporting business while ensuring powerful protection calls for a service-centric approach. Rather than expecting you to maintain the expertise and technology needed to stay protected, we deliver security as a service, thus minimizing the distractions to the business you run. Our full commitment to this approach makes us unique. F-Secure security as a service is available to corporate customers and home-based consumers, direct or via ISPs and corporate service partners - offering multiple layers of defence and protection for computers and networks running Windows or Linux.
