McAfee has unveiled its new consumer to business-ready offerings for mobile devices – Mobile Security Suite and Business Ready Program.
The offerings are part of the McAfee mobile security portfolio and aimed to make it easy for manufacturers and service providers to differentiate their offerings with security safeguards against device loss, data theft and malware, said the company.
The security technology company has now integrated its WaveSecure and VirusScan Mobile technologies as a single license for partners.
The move is expected to allow users to remotely lock, locate, back-up, wipe and restore their stolen or lost devices, while at the same time protecting them against malware threats.
While the McAfee mobile security offering is available immediately to McAfee partners, the other offering, McAfee Business Ready program, is slated for a launch in the second quarter of 2011.
The Business Ready Program will enable partners to pre-load or load McAfee Enterprise Mobility Management (McAfee EMM) client software with the McAfee Mobile Security consumer client technology, said the company.
McAfee will also include the McAfee EMM client with every device that is loaded with WaveSecure, VirusScan Mobile, or the mobile suite.
