Mobile phones are an integral part of consumers' lives, with two-thirds of adults worldwide reporting they use a mobile device to access the Internet. However, one in three mobile device users have had a device lost or stolen, putting their sensitive information at risk. Norton Mobile Security helps consumers keep their device secure, recover a lost or stolen device and prevent strangers from accessing their information.
"It's no secret that people are using mobile devices more than ever in their daily lives, for everything from connecting with friends to paying for a cup of coffee," said Dave Cole, vice president, product management, Consumer Business Unit, Symantec Corporation. "Your phone may not just be your phone -- it may be your wallet, identity card, address book and family photo album. As we use our phones in new ways, we're also putting sensitive information at risk if the device gets lost or stolen. With the latest version of Norton Mobile Security, we are making it simple for people to stay protected on whichever device they choose."
