Nokia Taps Symantec for Phone Security
Nate Mook writes in BetaNews:
Leading mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has chosen Symantec to protect its Series 60 based smartphones, the two companies announced Wednesday. Symantec Mobile Security will be preloaded onto the handsets and other Symbian OS based devices from Nokia to stem the emerging threat of mobile malware.
Symantec says it has worked with Nokia for two years on building technology to protect smartphones. Although mobile devices have yet to widely become victims of the same security threats plaguing PCs, new viruses such as Cabir and CommWarrior have specifically targeted Symbian and other phone platforms.
