14 DAY TRIAL // Although cell phone viruses were regarded more like a curiosity or as a proof of the fact that such threats do exist at the beginning of the year, the situation has changed dramatically, enough to determine the appearing of an antivirus.
Nokia and Symantec today announced that the two companies have signed an agreement that enables Nokia to provide its Series 60 based smartphones with Symantec Mobile Security.
Through this agreement, Nokia will be able to preload their Series 60 and Symbian OS based mobile devices with Symantec's mobile security solutions, offering increased protection for consumer and business users against mobile malware threats.
As smartphone purchasing and usage become more prolific, Nokia and Symantec want to offer security solutions that will help protect personal information, such as contact databases, stored on smartphones in addition to connected networks.
"Mobile devices are changing the way consumers and businesses live and work," said Sarah Hicks, vice president of mobile and wireless solutions, Symantec Corp. "As more and more data, including financial and personal details, are being stored on mobile devices, they are increasingly at risk to malware threats. This agreement with Symantec allows Nokia to provide key security features to the Series 60 Platform and Series 60 based smartphones."
