Fortinet announced FortiClient Mobile, a security software agent for Microsoft Windows Mobile and Symbian OS-enabled mobile smartphones and PDAs.

The FortiClient Mobile extends the FortiClient security software and it is seen as the first mobile end-point security solution on the market to integrate full antivirus, MMS/SMS anti-spam, personal firewall plus address book protection.

This new solution will help mobile service and applications providers, already under growing pressure, to protect from cyber vulnerabilities:

• attacks that could compromise mobile phone operating systems and
  potentially lead to high tech support costs, subscriber service downtime
  and issuance of credit (impacting overall revenue)
• MMS/SMS spam that can lead to phishing scams
• mobile application viruses that can lead to fraudulent service charges
• compromise mobile phone operating system between mobile smartphones and corporate resources that might require encryption
• etc.

FortiClient Mobile is available for evaluation on Fortinet’s web site and will be available through key mobile carriers and selected phone set manufacturers. FortiClient Mobile runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and Symbian OS versions 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0 for specified smartphones.

Fortinet is the pioneer and leading provider of ASIC-accelerated multi-threat security systems, which are used by enterprises and service providers to increase their security while reducing total operating costs.
