It appears that AT&T is looking to claim its corner in the Mobile Security arena with a recent announcement of a partnership with Juniper Networks. With several episodes of malware entering the mobile market, it's no wonder Norton has recently recognized the need as well as Sprint who recently announced a partnership with McAfee to ensure their devices are secured. The partnership will offer protective services via an application due out some time later this year and will address key concerns with both corporate and main stream consumer use.
The AT&T Mobile Security application will help:
- Businesses and Organizations
- Maintain compliance with government regulations
- Enforce security policies
- Manage personal or enterprise-owned devices
- Enable anti-virus, anti-malware, and application monitoring and control
- Consumers
- Protect mobile devices with anti-virus, anti-malware, and application monitoring and control
