Tata Communications has recently announced its partnership with F-Secure to offer mobile phone security services in India. With this partnership, Tata Communications will offer F-Secure’s complete Mobile Security package, which includes virus protection, malware protection and an integrated firewall, to an estimated 50 million smart phone users in India.

“Mobile security must not be an afterthought. We are committed to provide customers with the easiest and the most comprehensive security solution for all devices (PC, Server, Mobile). We are pleased to be in association with F-Secure to offer mobile security solutions to our subscriber base, suitable for their needs,” said Mukul Sood, Vice President, Content and Applications, Tata Communications.

Mobile Security is designed to protect a mobile device from spyware and other espionage software that may monitor and record all actions on the device including voice calls, SMS, multimedia and e-mail messages. It can safeguard phones from unwanted billing (caused by viruses that are trying to propagate/infiltrate) and additionally protects the handheld device from becoming unusable due to malware.

The application is easy to install, and users can download it from the company website via GPRS directly on to their mobile devices. The suite supports all major mobile operating system platforms such as Windows Mobile, Symbian and UIQ, and offers real-time, invisible and automated safety with easy to use firewall rule sets and automatic over-the-air antivirus update. The firewall is designed to provide additional security for mobile devices that access public networks such as Wi-Fi.

Tata Communications has introduced a special limited period introductory offer under which subscribers can get 30 percent off on the Mobile security suite and a 30-day free trial.
