“With more consumers using mobile devices for both work and personal tasks, they risk much more than losing their contact information when a device is lost or stolen — someone can be gaining access to their email, social networks and bank accounts,” said Dave Cole, vice president, Mobile Products, Norton. “Having Norton installed means feeling equally confident regardless of what you do on your mobile device. Norton Tablet Security provides protection from physical and online risks from one of the most trusted brands in security.”

It’s precisely this form of utilization that demands a particularly high degree of security.

“Users store a lot of personal and sensitive data on their mobile devices – so security should not be put on the back burner,” said Dieter Heiss, head of Workplace Systems at Fujitsu Technology Solutions. “Norton Tablet Security provides comprehensive protection: irrespective of whether malicious code has to be repelled or the device and the data on it are to be protected against misuse. An added value that we are pleased to offer our customers in full.”
