F-Secure Corporation Raises Client Security Solution above Industry Standards Publication date: Thursday, 02 June 2005 Helsinki, Finland - June 1, 2005 F-Secure Corporation [HEX: FSC] today announced the new F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0 and F-Secure Policy Manager 6.0 solutions. Compared to the current industry standard level, these solutions provide a higher level of protection for company workstations and laptops by integrating protection against spyware, adware, hackers, viruses, worms and zero-day attacks into the same solution. With the new solutions F-Secure will introduce many industry first features, including F-Secure Network Quarantine for both LAN/WAN and Internet access, scanning of HTTP traffic for malicious code, and Integrated Virus Outbreak alerting and monitoring system. In addition to the industry first features F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0 also introduces protection against spyware and zero-day attacks. This highly integrated solution offers extensive insight and control for network administrators. As well as endpoint security defences, the F-Secure solution also adaptively maintains the highest level of protection no matter how people use their computers and networks. With this new approach enterprises can increase their business productivity by offering more freedom to users without the need to compromise security and control. F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0 has adopted a new approach by shaping the level of protection to the way people behave, rather than forcing people to adapt to how technology works. For the past couple of years traditional antivirus alone has not been enough to protect against fast-spreading threats. Until F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0 there has not been solutions in the market that integrate spyware protection seamlessly with antivirus, desktop firewall and intrusion protection in a way that works well in practise. Thanks to a dedicated antispyware engine the solution protects against spyware in real-time while keeping the deployment and management as easy as with plain antivirus solutions but offering more insight for network administrators on spyware protection. “In 2004, according to IDC studies the biggest IT security concerns to enterprises were viruses, unintentional employee error, Internet worms and spyware,” said Thomas Raschke, analyst at IDC continuing: “IDC believes that the demand for a single comprehensive solution drives the integrated protection of viruses, spyware, adware, trojans, worms and other types of malicious code. Antivirus vendors are further helping customers to tackle unintentional employee errors by developing security lock-down and admission control features, such as Internet Quarantine in F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0.” “The adaptive security of F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0 keeps protection at the highest level at all times. One example of this is the monitoring of suspicious system activities, beyond the scope of known threats. In this manner, we can be assured that no software is allowed to take control of the computer without the owner’s distinct approval,” says Ari Alakiuttu, Vice President, Corporate Business Unit at F-Secure Corporation. “With F-Secure Network Quarantine our customers can ensure the security policy compliance of laptops and workstations regardless of the underlying networking infrastructure and location the computer is connected to the network.” To learn more about the new F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security, please visit http://www.f-secure.com F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0 and F-Secure Policy Manager 6.0 are available through F-Secure partners and eStore worldwide in early June 2005.
