Sophos has announced the availability of Mobile Security for Windows Mobile 5.0 based devices against mobile viruses and spyware threats. Sophos Mobile Security protects devices against malware infection via MMS, SMS, e-mail, instant messaging, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It offers on-access, on-demand or scheduled scanning and detects and quarantines mobile viruses or spyware. "Unlike other products we've tried, Sophos Mobile Security acts as an invisible guardian without affecting day-to-day usage," said Peter Jenkins, managing director of e-Advantage Solutions Ltd. "We are particularly impressed with the management features - it's simple to configure and easy to create reports. It certainly has my recommendation." "There is no doubt that the use of smartphones and PDAs is on the rise, letting employees access the internet from virtually anywhere with just a click of a button," said John Stringer, product manager at Sophos. "Unprotected mobiles can be a route for hackers into a seemingly well-defended network. Although the number of mobile threats is small compared to more commonly encountered Windows-specific malware, administrators are looking to defend all the points of entry into their organization." Sophos Mobile Security supports Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Edition and Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition. This version will also protect devices using Windows Mobile 6.0 which Microsoft plans to launch later in 2007. |
