For iPhone and iPad security, we've always said these two things:
You don't need protection for iPhones and iPads - they don't get viruses and are effectively locked down by Apple.
Someday, that will change because nothing in cyber is immune forever.
Well, that day is here, and F-Secure is leading the industry with a fantastic new app called "Mobile Protection."
Mobile Protection replaces Freedome VPN
The new app combines device protection with a VPN and increases performance by adding 'smart' functions and enhanced threat intelligence from the F-Secure network.
