Largest Organization of Independent ISPs in North America Partners With F-Secure to Offer Security Services to Its 700+ Members

Helsinki, Finland - January 31, 2006

F-Secure Corporation today announced that it has become a platinum sponsor the American Alliance of Service Providers (AASP) to offer its award-winning security-as-a-service to AASP’s 700+ members and 5.3 million end users.

F-Secure will offer the AASP members its F-Secure Service Platform for Consumers Standard that will enable any ISP to enhance its current product portfolio, create new revenue streams, and improve retention and satisfaction. This solution allows the service provider to offer their residential and small-office subscribers a complete, award-winning security solution that defends their Windows Computers against viruses, spyware, worms, hackers, spam, and other harmful content.

“F-Secure is committed to enabling AASP members to quickly add an easy, effective, and lucrative managed security solution to their existing product portfolio,” said Travis Witteveen, Vice President, Americas for F-Secure. “With F-Secure solution, an ISP can offer to its customers a completely automated security service without any integration needed. The fact is that with our security concept, the ISP can focus on increasing revenue streams, while we manage the service 24/7.”

“We are pleased to announce our partnership with F-Secure. The F-Secure Service Platform for Consumers is exactly the kind of value-added product that AASP seeks out for its members,” said Corrina Wolfe, Senior Vice President of Design and Development. “The offering will provide a fully integrated Anti-Virus, Spyware, Firewall, Spam control and Parental control solution, which we are confident, will help our members not only increase revenues, but more importantly, acquire new subscribers and keep the ones they have.”
