Anti-Virus Software For WAP
Problem: Mobile computing has
allowed enterprises to extend their workforces beyond their secure
environments – making them vulnerable to vandals and cyber-thieves,
tapping into their systems from virtually anywhere.
Even though the infrastructure in WAP-enabled devices
are embedded with a high level of security from confidentiality, privacy
and authenticating, it become a target for malicious code. It is
important, therefore, that an infrastructure have the capacity to be
updated quickly so as to detect and remove any emerging malicious code
threats.
Solution: F-Secure Anti-Virus
for WAP Gateways protects wireless communications, transactions and
e-commerce from new and emerging malicious code by:
- Checking
for viruses and Trojan horses in the content to be transferred to
WAP-enabled devices
- Detecting
and disinfecting WAP-related malicious content transparently and
automatically
- Providing
timely updates of malicious code detection activity
- Providing
centralized policy based management based on its F-Secure Framework
security architecture
- Tightly
integrating it with a range of security applications from F-Secure,
including Anti-Virus for workstations and servers, file encryption
products, network encryption applications and distributed firewall
products
Industries: Security issues
are important in all enterprises but for financial and government
institutions, cyber vandalism can have irreversible consequences. With
its latest anti-virus product, F-Secure has established relationships
with WAP gateway vendors to ensure that security is built into the very
essence of the wireless environment.
