McAfee, the electronic security technology solutions firm, has made available a full-featured version of its mobile security solution for Indian users for free. The mobile security solution would support both the Android and iOS platforms.
Quoting from its recent survey, it said about 82 per cent of apps track users and 80 per cent of apps collect location information, invading our privacy.
“With India placed on the tip of a mobile device explosion, there is an overwhelming need for adoption of security and privacy protection in our digital lives,” Jagdish Mahapatra, Managing Director, India and SAARC, McAfee, said.
Device proliferation and the resultant application explosion has increased potential vulnerabilities and made ‘mobile’ a significant threat vector, he said.
