F-Secure has introduced F-Secure Mobile Security 6 on the Android platform, which provides security for smartphones, protecting against malicious software and safeguarding confidential data even if the phone is lost or stolen.
The company claims that with F-Secure, operators can offer consumers and businesses protection for smartphones on the Android, Symbian and Windows platforms, as well as data security services for PCs and Macs.
According to F-Secure, Mobile Security 6 provides browsing protection, which makes internet use and mobile financial transactions safer than ever for smartphone users; browsing protection identifies which websites are safe to enter and blocks harmful sites that try to spread malware or steal confidential information, such as banking details.
The company said that the Anti-Theft feature makes it possible to remotely lock the phone or erase data on the phone if it is lost or stolen. It can also inform you of the new number if the SIM card is changed and can show you the phone’s location, so you can track down who has your smartphone.
In addition, F-Secure Mobile Security 6 also protects smartphones against malicious software, including spying tools, viruses and trojans.
Patrik Sallner, director of mobile business unit at F-Secure, said: "F-Secure Mobile Security is the world’s leading smartphone security solution, and we are very pleased to make it available for Android alongside other popular mobile platforms. This means our operator partners can now provide their customers with comprehensive IT security covering both smartphones and computers."
