Today's challenges
Data can be transferred to Communicators in a number of different
ways, including synchronization, removable memory cards, bluetooth
and infrared connections, and wireless IP connectivity. To properly
protect the content on the device, it is essential that the
software solution resides locally on the device.
The solution
F-Secure Mobile Security enables secure mobile computing by
combining an integrated antivirus and firewall. Device-resident
protection safeguards the mobile device from any type of attack,
from intrusion attempts to malware. The solution delivers invisible
and automated safety through real-time, on-device protection with
customizable firewall rule sets and automatic over-the-air
antivirus updates.
Key features
Integrated Firewall
F-Secure Mobile Security enables secure mobile computing by
combining an integrated antivirus and firewall. A firewall is
especially useful in devices that use WLAN or other public networks
for Internet access.
Transparent, real-time protection locally on the
device
F-Secure Mobile Security is designed to be as easy to use as
possible. To prevent infection, all files are automatically
intercepted and scanned when they are saved, copied, downloaded,
synchronized or otherwise modified. There is no need for user
intervention.
Automatic scanning of memory cards
F-Secure Mobile Security scans automatically all
files on memory cards. When an infected file is detected, it is
immediately quarantined in order to protect all other data in the
system.
Automatic updates
F-Secure Mobile Security entails advanced methods
for updating the virus signature database. Automatic antivirus
database updates to the mobile devices are done over a secure HTTPS
data connection or incrementally with SMS messages. These take
place invisibly without any need for user involvement.
F-Secure Mobile Security also supports automatic detection of
GPRS connections. Whenever GPRS is used the solution checks for
software and antivirus database updates in the background.
