Called Mobile Security the solution aims to beef up protection from ‘malicious mobile code’ such as viruses and SMS spam. It is also aimed at mobile operators to help them provide value-added security services to their subscribers.
Available from May, it costs around €24 for each PocketPC or Smartphone. ‘The number of people using data-centric devices and Smartphones continues to grow, and, as a result, so does the potential security threat to users,’ said Raimund Genes, Trend Micro chief technologist of anti-malware. ‘The network boundary has shifted, and organisations and operators now need to consider extending security measures to protect user devices.’ Trend Micro Mobile Security protects devices running a number of operating systems. These systems include Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE for Smartphone, Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE for Pocket PC and PocketPC Phone Edition, Symbian OS 7.0 with UIQ 2.0/2.1 , Symbian OS v7.0s/v8.0a/v8.1a with Series 60 User Interface and now Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0.
