The Hindu Business Line : McAfee, Good Tech team up for mobile phone security

MCAFEE INC, a security solutions provider, and Good Technology Inc, a computing software maker for handheld devices, on Monday announced a partnership to enable enterprises to distribute McAfee VirusScan Mobile entirely over-the-air to smartphones.

The VirusScan Mobile software will now be readily available as a partner application for distribution and both the companies will work together to ensure handhelds can get the latest McAfee software, according to a press release.

As enterprises scale their smartphone deployments, the combination of McAfee VirusScan Mobile and Good's security architecture will enable enterprises to maintain employee productivity, protect corporate data from malware attacks and enforce corporate compliance.

The software provides scanning, detection and cleaning of handheld data to prevent corruption due to viruses, worms, dialers, Trojans, battery-sapping malware and other malicious code.
