F-Secure unveils 'mobile security' software

New Delhi, Nov 19: F-Secure has launched mobile security software featuring a firewall for devices based on S60 3rd Edition and Symbian OS v9, to provide security against mobile malware threats and intrusion attempts.

''Our product development for mobile security continues apace and introducing a firewall to the product is a logical step that finds its analogy in F-Secure's PC products,'' F-Secure President and CEO Kimmo Alkio said.

Calling firewall feature an important one, Mr Alkio said smartphones too can also be attacked through a Wi-Fi connection and not only by mobile viruses.

F-Secure Mobile Security will be available at the price of 3,495 euro through F-Secure resellers as well as leading mobile operators.

The addition of the firewall would now evolve F-Secure Mobile Security to the status of a full security product.
