Prestigio, an international manufacturer of mobile devices, consumer electronics and accessories known in 85 countries, and McAfee, part of Intel Security today announced that Prestigio smartphones and tablets will soon be available with a pre-installed trial version of the McAfee® LiveSafe solution.
Device users will benefit from the award-winning security solution that will protect their digital life on the move. McAfee LiveSafe will be available on millions of devices in Russia and other CIS countries over the next two years. The app will be preinstalled as a 30-day trial with the option to continue the subscription at the end of the trial period.
According to McAfee’s Consumer Mobile Security Report, 80% of mobile apps today collect location information about users, 82% know the device ID, 57% track when people use their phones and the threat of mobile malware is increasing every day.
“There is an ever increasing threat of mobile malware and we want our customers to be fully protected against all threats and have access to the best possible security solutions,” commented Sergey Kostevitch, Chairman of Prestigio. “This new partnership with McAfee enables our customers to benefit from their proven expertise and enables them to have the best security in the business directly on their devices.”
“Customers are placing more and more content on their smartphones and tablets – whether it’s for personal or work use – meaning the security of a device is essential, if not critical,” said Roman Veraksich, Consumer Partner and Retail manager, Russia and CIS, McAfee. “With the average consumer using more than two mobile devices at any time, the need for the multi-device security offered by the McAfee LiveSafe solution is key.”
The McAfee® LiveSafe solution provides complete, multi-device security for PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets against the latest viruses, malware and spam along with a host of other protections with one licence. The service provides consumers with a simple Web-based dashboard to centrally manage security on all of their devices. To increase the level of consumer security, it also includes a cloud-based “safety deposit box”, called “McAfee Personal Locker,” that uses facial and voice recognition to authenticate a users’ identity so that they can securely store sensitive, personal information such as financial records, drivers licences and passports. It also enables consumers to easily and securely manage their passwords and automatically log into all their online accounts from any of their devices.
