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.
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.
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.
