McAfee said on Tuesday it will be extending its product range to include android smartphones and tablets.
Specifically, McAfee announced McAfee Mobile Security and WaveSecure Tablet Edition.
The general idea is that this software secures mobile devices as they swap between consumer, work and personal usage.
Tablets and smartphones are the next growth market for antivirus protection. And given that Android devices are quickly becoming a popular attack vector, McAfee is initially focusing on that platform.
The suite offers:
- Backup and data restoration
- Remote locking
- Alarms in case a device is stolen
- Remote data removal
- Anti-malware software and phishing detection
- A portal to manage multiple devices
WaveSecure also focuses on Android Operating System and aims to find stolen devices and preserve critical data.
