Products from Symantec Norton Mobile Security Symantec’s Norton Mobile Security helps to protect the user’s entire mobile world. It protects multiple mobile devices with one web-based service which is easy to use. This means, the user can control protection for all devices from a single website. Protecting both, Android smartphones and tablets, it can also remotely locate and back up contacts from iPhone and iPad. It also helps recover a lost or stolen device by locating it on a map. The built-in webcam takes a photo of anyone using the missing device once it is listed as stolen or lost. And, the user also has the option to set off a ‘scream’ alarm and set a customisable message so that anyone who finds the device can make arrangements to send it back. What is most attractive about the solution is that it stops access of any private information and can remotely lock lost or stolen smartphones through a secure website. This way strangers cannot use or access personal information stored in the phone. If necessary, the solution also allows you to erase any private information. And the software helps you to block phishing websites designed to trick you to reveal personal information and can instantly lock your phone if SIM card is removed so that it does not function on any other SIM card. The software also allows you to back up all your contacts on any of your devices so that in case it is deleted accidentally, it can be easily restored. Also contacts can be shared across iPhones, iPads and Androids. The solution is also designed to protect the phone against digital threats such as viruses, spam calls and texts and also automatically scans downloaded apps and app updates for threats and helps the user to get rid of them. www.redingtonmea.com For more information, please write to [email protected] Issue 01 23
