F-Secure Helps Protect Smartphones
As people rely on ever more complicated smartphones, it’s clear the information on a lost, or stolen phone, could be used for nefarious means and to combat this, F-Secure has launched F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile. Now days it is not just your computer that needs the best pc protection software.
It’s a stand-alone smartphone solution which has at its core three security solutions: remote locking, remote wipe and theft control.
F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile serves both the Symbian and Windows phone platforms.
The remote lock function works by a single SMS message which quickly locks the smartphone once it’s loss is discovered. The remote wipe function works in the same way, via one quick SMS message, but it instantly erases all the data on the phone. The theft control function comes into play if someone tries to change the SIM card. It locks the device and informs the registered owner of the new number.
Arnoud de Vaal, Director at F-Secure’s Mobile Business Unit, said:
“You carry your smartphone with you where ever you go, which means it can be particularly prone to being lost or stolen. Nowadays our mobiles contain a great deal of personal and confidential data that need protection. F-Secure’s standalone anti-theft software provides an easy and affordable way to make sure this information is not misused by anyone.”
F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile is an upgrade to the existing F-Secure Mobile Security and can be activated using the inbuilt automatic upgrade system and purchased for a fee.
