"F-Secure's Anti-virus and Content protection products are a very natural extension to our device security suite as our products protect data residing on the device and now, through our partnership with F-Secure we can offer protection from attacks over the Internet. The Blaster virus and its predecessors clearly shows the need for Personal Firewall protection for any mobile user", says Thomas Bill CEO of Protect Data AB, Pointsec's parent company.

"Mobile devices have become business tools in daily work and the content needs to be protected the same way as in laptops and workstations. We are happy to partner with a leading mobile data protection company and offer F-Secure Anti-Virus and content protection products for mobile end- users, says Risto Siilasmaa, President and CEO of F-Secure Corporation.

The partnership will entail the transfer of all F-Secure's FileCrypto products for Windows, Pocket PC and Symbian. The products include F-Secure FileCrypto, F-Secure FileCrypto for Nokia Communicator 9200, F-Secure FileCrypto for Sony Ericsson P800, F-Secure FileCrypto for PocketPC. As a part of this transfer Pointsec will take immediate support responsibility for all existing FileCrypto products and will integrate the products into their existing mobile solutions under the Pointsec Mobile Technologies brand.
