F-Secure has announced its anti-virus system for the Symbian EPOC platform. The product incorporates F-Secure`s Mobile Scanner Technology and advanced features.

F-Secure is represented locally by Y3K Products.

"The next generation of mobile phones and PDAs are bringing the into your pocket. The open-ness of wireless information devices poses new security issues which must be addressed," says Risto Siilasmaa, CEO and president of F-Secure.

"Information must be protected where it`s created, stored and processed. Since these new platforms will take that information everywhere the user goes, the security protection must follow. F-Secure Anti-Virus is the first native solution to protect these systems against malicious code."

F-Secure expects security to be one of the fundamental added value services for all service providers in the future and will aggressively seek partnerships with wireless operators to enable these services globally.
