As increasing numbers of consumers use mobile devices to access and store sensitive information like personal banking information, proprietary business plans, corporate emails, or photographs. Mobile devices are becoming an increasingly attractive target for thieves. Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 offers a critical line of defense for users of Symbian and Windows Mobile devices from a potentially devastating loss of their personal data caused by a misplaced smartphone, a common thief, or a sophisticated hacker.

Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 delivers comprehensive data security and the latest malware protection for smartphones using the Windows Mobile and Symbian operating systems. New features in Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 include:

– New GPS tracking capabilities to locate mobile devices that have been lost or stolen.
– A new encrypted folder to keep sensitive information on the smart mobile device, such as a company’s IPO plans or personal Web site passwords, safe from prying eyes.
– An enhancement to the SIM Watch feature allows users to remotely delete data stored on their mobile device even if a new SIM card has been installed.
– Parental Controls, allowing parents to block communication to and from undesirable contacts, or to limit the smartphone’s ability to only contact specified, pre-approved numbers. Parents can also use the smartphone’s GPS capabilities to determine their child’s location, or to block the installation of mobile software applications.
