F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile protects confidential smartphone data

Jan 04, 2010:

F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile makes sure the personal and confidential
information on your mobile phone can’t be misused by anyone, even if
your phone is lost or stolen.

Helsinki,
Finland – January 4, 2010: F-Secure announced today the availability of
its new standalone smartphone solution, F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile.
The solution provides three useful security features to protect your
phone: remote lock, remote wipe and theft control and is available for
Symbian and Windows Phone platforms.

The remote lock protects confidential information quickly and easily
by locking the device with a single SMS message. The theft control
feature activates if someone changes the SIM card by locking the device
and informing you of the new number. The remote wipe is the ultimate
safety measure, erasing all the data on the phone with a single SMS
message.

Arnoud de Vaal, Director at F-Secure’s Mobile Business Unit,
says, “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 also easy to upgrade to the
all-in-one security solution, F-Secure Mobile Security, by activating
the inbuilt automatic upgrade system. This adds new security features
to the solution for an additional fee. You can see the currently
available additional security features directly from the solution’s
user interface.

F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile is now available through the F-Secure eStore http://www.f-secure.com/estore and later from selected mobile application stores and F-Secure mobile operator partners.
