Commtouch's GlobalView URL Filtering is a cloud-based URL
filtering solution that provides insight into security threats,
identifying harmful sites before users are exposed to them. Its
unique technology continuously monitors and analyzes Web traffic to
categorize URLs in realtime. GlobalView URL Filtering will now be
included as part of NetQin Mobile Security, which protects
smartphones against mobile security and privacy threats, including
malware, spyware, viruses, and hackers, while keeping devices
running at optimal speed.
"Every day, people use their smartphones for email, banking,
playing games, and browsing the Internet. In many ways, mobile
phones are mini-computers and they expose people to the same types
of undesirable content and security risks they're exposed to on
their PCs," said Dr. Henry Yu Lin,
NetQin's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "People need the
same strong, reliable security and filtering options they have on
their home computers on their mobile devices. By integrating
Commtouch's URL filtering solution with NetQin's mobile security
technology, we're giving customers the best security and privacy
protection tools to protect their mobile devices."
NetQin Mobile Security users can more safely browse the Web on
their phones, while the URL filtering solution is continuously
working to detect and block malicious websites and suspicious URLs
in their emails and text messages. The end result for users is
effective protection against phishing attacks and other types of
cybercrimes, which often result in financial losses and identity
theft.
"With mobile devices overtaking computers for day-to-day
activities like browsing the Web, the need for strong threat
protection is substantial and growing," said Ofer Tal, vice president of international sales
and business development at Commtouch. "We are pleased
to take a leadership position in protecting mobile users in this
collaboration with NetQin, one of the fastest growing and leading
mobile smartphone security providers."
