14 DAY TRIAL // Everybody knows that the company Orange is a giant. They've extended their activity and this covers lots of domains ? and now they're even providing cyber-security solutions. I think it's great that, since they are already involved with mobiles, communication and such , they also thought about delivering security solutions for their customers. As I've said before - I'm a fan of all-in-one packages.
But, to get to the facts - Orange has released "Secure My Device" - this is a fully managed solution designed to suit both mobile devices and desktops. This is a large suite that includes a personal firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware and patch management. So, they've pretty much thought about everything - you install this one suite and you're protected against all sorts of threats. The firewall will keep intruders out, the AV will eliminate viruses and the anti-spyware will, of course, take care of any spyware that might infiltrate on your machine. As for patch-management - that is probably the most important part of any security software. A lot of people do not update their programs if not prompted or if it's not done automatically, so you can imagine how important a managing solution is.
However, this solution is not intended for single-user usage, but for companies. It can be installed on all of the employees' mobile devices to make sure that it's safe for them to access the corporate network, without bringing any threat inside.
In addition, this security solution is hosted and managed centrally - that translates into "simple to enforce security policy". Also, they've worked with F-Secure on this, so you can be sure that they've delivered quality security, and not some hoax that will make you vulnerable.
Security is a concern these days and using the web and not being protected is quite a risky business, that's why anyone out there that knows a little bit about cyber-security will say that it's very important to consider security as one of the most important aspects to be constantly taken care of.
