Sept. 3, 2008 -- F-Secure is now able to protect the online wellbeing of its
customers better than ever
before. F-Secure Corporation’s Wellbeing 2009 family of consumer IT
security products deliver swift protection against
new online threats through its F-Secure
DeepGuard™ 2.0 technology, which recognizes both safe and malicious
software instantaneously using a real-time protection network.
When a new potential malicious program appears, the first
participating F-Secure protected computers that encounter it
anywhere in the world will instantly inform F-Secure’s highly
automated security labs. For confirmed threats complete protection
will be achieved within 60 seconds on a global basis. Consequently,
as any computer with this technology queries the network, it will
be instantly protected against the newly found threat, bypassing
the time it has traditionally taken to send out virus database
updates.
"We're introducing another industry first. We have to keep
innovating to fight the online criminals as they are getting more
efficient and professional," says Pirkka Palomaki, Chief Technology
Officer at F-Secure Corporation. "When our customers try to run
suspicious programs, the trustworthiness of such files is
automatically queried from our servers - in fractions of a second.
We're the only vendor that can provide this level of protection for
consumers."
Online security plays an important role in people’s overall
wellbeing as life is becoming increasingly connected through the
Internet, mobile networks and different digital devices. Computers
and other devices need to be kept free of malware to ensure they
function correctly. Safe online banking and shopping depend on a
secure computer and Internet connection. Sensitive personal
information and valuable work data need to be safeguarded against
theft, and families want to protect children from harmful content
on the Internet.
The F-Secure Wellbeing 2009 family of products is an advanced
collection of security solutions that enables consumers to enjoy
connected life to the full. Wellbeing 2009 includes the following
products and services:
- F-Secure Internet Security
2009
- F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
- F-Secure Home Server Security
