MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS - McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today
announced that it will provide a mobile security application for
French SFR customers. The service, called “SFR Sécurité Mobile,”
offers users the ability to protect their mobile lifestyle in the
event their phone is stolen.
The features offered allow SFR customers to:
- Preserve important memories and
personal data, such as text messages, photos and videos, with
remote backup, even from a lost or misplaced phone
- Find their missing phone with alarm and
location tracking, which activated remotely and displayed on a
map
- Prevent misuse with remote lock and
wipe technology
People today are 15 times more likely to lose their phones than
their laptop. Device and data loss are currently the most worrisome
and likely security incidents that consumer mobile users face
today. Consumers store personal data like pictures, videos,
contacts and personal financial information on their mobile
devices. Losing a mobile device not only means losing the data
stored on the phone, but also losing the ability to
communicate.
“We are excited to work with SFR Sécurité Mobile to bring this
unique service to mobile operators in France,” said Todd Gebhart,
McAfee executive vice president and general manager, Consumer,
Mobile & Small Business at McAfee. “The offering will have the
ability to remotely lock, locate, back-up, wipe and restore the
user’s data, giving SFR customers the ability to safeguard the data
on their phone in the event that it is lost or stolen.”
“In this all-digital world our customers should be able to enjoy
the best mobile services with complete confidence,” said Patrick
Asdaghi, vice president, Products & Content at SFR. “Our
partnership with McAfee allows everyone to safeguard their personal
data on their smartphone.”
SFR Sécurité Mobile is currently available for BlackBerry,
Android and Symbian OS phones. The service is available in three
different options, with the first available as a free download to
protect just the contacts on the phone. The second option includes
the full SFR Securite Mobile solution priced at €1 for the first
two months and then €2 each month thereafter. This version provides
users with protection of the user’s content that resides on the
device, including contacts, photos, videos, SMS and calendars.
Thirdly, users can add on additional functions, such as apps to
help with setting up conference calls and using Meeting Place, for
€5 a month. Consumers interested in the SFR Sécurité Mobile can
