Tata Communications has teamed up with F-Secure, a global provider of security as a service through ISPs and mobile operators, to offer mobile phone security services in India. The company will be the first to offer F-Secure's award winning complete mobile security package.

The security package includes virus protection, malware protection and an integrated firewall for smartphone users.

The application can be installed by downloading it directly to GPRS-activated smartphones.  

The security suite runs on all major mobile operating system platforms like Windows Mobile, Symbian and UIQ, and delivers real-time, invisible and automated safety with easy to use firewall rule sets and automatic over-the-air antivirus update. The firewall provides additional security for all mobile devices that access public networks like wi-fi.

''Mobile security must not be an afterthought. We, at Tata Communications are committed to provide customers with the easiest and the most comprehensive security solution for all devices (PC, Server, Mobile),'' Mukul Sood, Vice president, content and applications, Tata Communications, said.

Venu Palakirti, sales director for India and SAARC region, F-Secure Corporation, said, ''Most mobile phone users are aware that malware can infect a mobile device via Bluetooth, SMS, MMS or thru the internet but fail to have security software installed. Our solution enables smartphone users to enjoy the full potential of their devices without the fear of mobile threats.''
