McAfee has announced that its technology for mobile platforms will be offered as standard in Sony Ericsson's XPERIATM mini pro and forthcoming XPERIATM pro smartphones. This is part of a move designed to safeguard smartphone users against device loss, data theft, malware and virus infection.
"Smartphones represent one of most significant technological developments of our time with today's devices boasting far more functionality than many early PCs. However, it is far too easy to leave a mobile device in a cab or at the airport, which can mean lost contacts, photos, financial information and other important content. With malware targeting mobile devices growing quarter-on-quarter, there is also the risk of these devices being hacked, infected or phished. The availability of this technology is an important milestone in protecting both the phone itself and the data that resides on the device." said, Todd Gebhart, co-president, McAfee.
Nikolaus Scheurer, Head, Product Marketing, Sony Ericsson said, "By offering as standard these new consumers and business solutions in our XPERIATM smartphones, we are setting a new standard in mobile device security allowing us to better serve our customers."
