F-Secure today announced a deal with Internet Service Provider
TDC to provide a Protection Service for Business package to its
enterprise customers, first in Finland with TDC Song Oy and later
this year in Sweden. The deal follows an earlier one made with TDC
in Denmark where the group has its headquarters. TDC Song Oy is an
important part of the Nordic TDC group principally serving
enterprise customers.
F-Secure Protection Service for Businesses offers a flexible
security service delivery platform that is ideally suited to the
needs of multiple service providers such as ISPs, MSSPs, ASPs and
system integrators to offer managed desktop security services.
The solution, which is co-branded with TDC Song Oy, is managed
by F-Secure. This enables TDC Song to offer their SMB customers a
complete security service solution with award winning client
software combined with an easy-to-use web based SMB management
portal. This allows TDC Song to distribute the solution to their
target enterprise customers in a swift and cost effective
manner.
Speaking about the deal, Sami Kohonen, product manager of TDC
Song said:
“By commercialising managed security to the SMB segment, we
at TDC Song can offer our enterprise customers an essential service
which is vital to their business continuity. In an Internet-driven
world, providing data security of the caliber to our business
customers is an important addition to our service offering and one
