Introducing the <\/strong>N<\/strong>ew Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kaspersky takes integrated protection for smartphones to a whole new level<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Singapore \u2013 25<\/strong> August 2009<\/strong> \u2013 Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content-management solutions, announces the release of Kaspersky Mobile Security (KMS) 8.0 \u2013 designed to protect smartphones from all types of IT threats, as well as confidential data leaks from lost or stolen devices.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Featuring cutting-edge technologies, the new version of Kaspersky Mobile Security provides an unprecedented level of protection against the wide range of threats facing smartphone users.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaspersky’s new mobile-security software protects users from threats beyond cybercrime.\u00a0 Apart from its encryption and anti-spam functions, the product also prevents user data from falling into the wrong hands, regardless of whether it is stolen or misplaced.\u00a0 The Anti-theft module of Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 makes it possible for the owner of a lost or stolen smartphone to remotely block access to or completely wipe the memory of the device by simply sending a codeword via SMS to the user’s number.\u00a0 Furthermore, the product allows users to locate missing or stolen phones via Global Positioning System (GPS).\u00a0 After sending an SMS with a password to the lost device, the user receives a link to Google Maps containing its exact coordinates,\u201d said Gun Suk Ling, Managing Director of Kaspersky Lab for Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

If the SIM card is removed from a lost or stolen phone, the SIM-Watch module in Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 sends a hidden message notifying the owner of the new number. \u00a0This function allows the owner to delete data from or block the smartphone to prevent data exposure to unwanted third parties.\u00a0 In addition, law enforcement agencies can use the new number to track the stolen device and return it to its rightful owner.<\/p>\n

Users can now benefit from the added level of security that Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 offers.\u00a0 With the new software, users are able to store their sensitive and confidential data in safe folders that are permanently encrypted and accessible only with a user-defined password.\u00a0 When the password is entered, the folder will remain accessible to enhance usability until KMS detects a period of inactivity.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the parental control component \u2013 new to Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 \u2013 allows parents to restrict the sending and receiving of messages to a child\u2019s phone (e.g. premium-rate numbers, adult-content services, etc.). \u00a0The product’s SMS-Find function also allows parents to locate their children if their smartphones have GPS.<\/p>\n

Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 also includes an improved Anti-spam module. \u00a0The spam filter blocks unsolicited messages and calls, protecting users from fraudsters and obtrusive advertising.\u00a0 The new version of Kaspersky Mobile Security can function in whitelist mode (only accepting calls and messages from specified contacts) or in blacklist mode (accepting calls and messages from all numbers except those in the list).<\/p>\n

KMS 8.0 provides a best-of-breed anti-virus scanner along with an integrated firewall that prevents attacks by hackers and mobile worms that spread via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kaspersky Mobile Security software’s anti-virus capabilities are just as effective as Kaspersky Lab’s PC counterparts. Its anti-virus databases are updated automatically upon Internet access or during synchronisation with a PC. \u00a0This is to also ensure that the end user’s mobile device is never at risk of unknown malware, or if any, they are detected and deleted effectively,\u201d Gun concluded.<\/p>\n

The new Kaspersky Lab application, offering protection for smartphones, can be installed on all smartphones running Symbian OS 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 or Windows Mobile 5.0, 6.0 and 6.1.<\/p>\n

Kaspersky Mobile Security version 8.0 is now available at selected IT shops in Singapore.\u00a0 You can also buy the product online at www.antivirus365.net\/<\/a>.\u00a0 For more information, visit www.kaspersky.com.sg<\/a>.<\/p>\n
