This means our operator partners can now provide their customers with comprehensive IT security covering both smartphones and computers.” He also added, “Today’s smartphones are designed for surfing the web and financial transactions like online banking and shopping.

F-Secure’s advanced technology gives peace of mind for smartphone users so they can enjoy their devices to the full without worrying that sensitive information may fall in the wrong hands.”

Frequent automatic updates, immediate reaction times and fast cures during new and emerging threats are guaranteed by the F-Secure Labs, which operate 24 hours a day worldwide.
