UK based Mobile Security specialist Company UMU Global enters Indian market

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 19, 2009 -- Connect Infotech is set to team up with UK based mobile security provider UMU in an exclusive strategic partnership to offer UMU Mobile security products to dealers, resellers and retailers in india.

As more and more businesses integrate Smartphones into their Networks, the UMU Mobile Security Suite offers an exceptional value for money solution to help combat network vulnerabilities and commercial risks. It offers a compelling opportunity to resellers to offer a genuine value-added service to their customers while generating an incremental revenue stream

The three products are:

UMU Scan - an on-device anti-virus application that once installed runs silently in background providing protection by a combination of scheduled device scans, scanning all files at regular intervals and scanning any new files received, downloaded or upon the insertion of a memory card. The application will connect to receive regular virus updates over a multitude of user-defined connections and will receive pushed updates for newly recognised high-risk malware threats.

UMU SpamSafe - provides users with a simple option of blocking or filtering nuisance, unwanted or unsolicited SMS and MMS messages with 4 modes of operation using easy definable white and blacklists to combat the global upsurge of mobile messaging abuse.

UMU StopThief automatically locks the device and notifies the owner if the SIM card is changed and will provide an exact location if the handset is GPS enabled; it also enables users to remotely lock the handset or delete all information stored on the device.

Bhushan Chandak, Director, Connect InfoTech, said, “We’re delighted to be working with UMU on providing this product to the Indian customers. Till now, only pirated mobile antivirus products were available to Indian customers but with this launch Indian customers will get a feature rich licenses antivirus application to protect their symbian and windows mobile smartphones. The application’s low memory footprint and capability to scan 30% faster means significantly less battery usage than many competitive products at over twice the price. Network and device security is becoming a major priority for IT managers in minimising corporate as well as personal risks.”
UMU Ltd. Chief Technology Officer, Peter Harrison, said: “The growing number of Smartphones being used brings with it increased risks. Stolen handsets contain information, which can be of use to the thief. Malware is on the rise and we are now experiencing some major outbreaks on mobile handsets, with large numbers of devices in the Middle East, Southern Europe and South East Asia reported to be currently infected with the HatiHati virus.

“Similarly it is expected that SMS spam will be a growing problem in india over the next few years. UMU's Mobile Security Suite protects handsets against all of these threats. We are excited to be working with Connect Infotech to help Indian smartphone users protect their smartphones"
