F-Secure Corporation, the global leader in providing security as a service through mobile operators and Internet Service Providers, today announced its award-winning Mobile Security solution for the Windows Mobile platform. The solution brings new levels of protection for Windows Mobile Smartphone and PocketPC users.
F-Secure Mobile Security enables smartphone users to enjoy the
full potential of their devices without the fear of mobile threats.
The application combines real-time antivirus and antispyware
functionality with a firewall, ensuring complete protection in
today’s connected lives. A firewall provides additional security
for all mobile devices that access public networks like Wi-Fi. The
solution also delivers automatic over-the-air antivirus
updates.
F-Secure Mobile Security prevents malware from
- causing unwanted billing as they try to spread or call
premium rate numbers
- deleting valuable information from the device
- making the device unusable
- sending information from the device to third parties
With this latest launch of its Mobile Security product, F-Secure
now provides a complete security suite with firewall, antivirus and
antispyware functionality for all the main mobile platforms running
an open operating system: Windows Mobile, Symbian S60 and UIQ.
F-Secure Mobile Security can be subscribed from selected mobile
operators as a service, purchased directly from the F-Secure eStore
at:
http://www.f-secure.com/estore/, or bought
from resellers worldwide. The product will be available during the
second quarter.
The list of supported devices is constantly expanding and
consists today of over 150 smartphones. The up-to-date information
can always be found from the mobile-device optimized F-Secure
