F-Secure protects smartphone data

F-Secure released its new standalone smartphone solution, Anti-Theft for Mobile which provides three useful security features to protect your phone: remote lock, remote wipe and theft control. The product 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.
