Sophos has announced the launch of an anti-virus product for Windows Mobile called 'Sophos Mobile Security'.
Sophos has announced the launch of an anti-virus product for Windows Mobile.
The company claims that 'Sophos Mobile Security', as the product is called, will protect organizations against increasing number of malware attacks aimed at Windows Mobile.
Sophos also said that 'Sophos Mobile Security' provides immediate protection for Windows Mobile 5.0 based devices against mobile viruses and spyware threats, and enables IT administrators to implement and lock down security policies for PDAs and smart phones.
Moreover, it protects devices against malware attacks via MMS, SMS, e-mail, instant messaging, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, thus ensuring that business communications are kept secure. This anti-virus is also easy to install and configure, and offers on-access, on-demand, or scheduled scanning, and detects and detains any mobile viruses or spyware with minimal impact on device performance. Besides, central policies can be created and deployed to ensure consistent company-wide security.
On this occasion, John Stringer, Product Manager, Sophos, said that there is no doubt that the use of smart phones and PDAs is on the rise, letting employees access the Internet from virtually anywhere with just a click of a button. Unprotected mobiles can be a route for hackers into a seemingly well-defended network. Although the number of mobile threats is small compared to more commonly encountered Windows-specific malware, administrators are looking to defend all points of entry into their organization.
'Sophos Mobile Security' is also supported by Sophos Behavioral Genotype Protection technology, which proactively blocks new and unknown mobile threats before they execute. Network administrators are alerted with real-time notification of malware incidents; ensuring threat activity is monitored and neutralized, reducing the impact on employee productivity.
Meanwhile, 'Sophos Mobile Security' supports Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Edition and Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition. This version will also protect devices using Windows Mobile 6.0, which Microsoft plans to launch later in 2007.
