The mobile environment is potentially being targeted by pernicious attacks. As per the statistics of 2006, the mobile domain has been increasingly riddled by new threats of SmiShing– phishing via SMS–and spyware (MobiSpy), which widely installed services (text messaging) or phones features (comprising Java), has an affect on Mobile Network Operators businesses beyond just smartphones.
In the context of these growing security threats, McAfee recently launched its Mobile Security Risk Management, a new modular three-prong approach, which is claimed to allow mobile operators to combat the rising threats brought about by pernicious and offensive content and generate a protected structure on which to put up future services.
McAfee is capable of providing complete, confirmed solution to mobile operators, and its Mobile Security Risk Management gives operators a specialized risk assessment of the threats to their business, extensive security for the network, devices, content and applications and effective recovery services from malware eruptions. McAfee Mobile Security Risk Management is considered as the most comprehensive approach of the industry to mobile security.
