F-Secure brings total security and privacy to consumers
October 2016 by Marc Jacob
F-Secure is bringing consumers complete security and privacy protection with their latest offering. F-Secure total security and privacy combines F-Secure’s award-winning internet security and virtual private network (VPN) products into a single subscription that gives consumers comprehensive protection for their personal information and devices, even when sending information online.
F-Secure total security and privacy combines F-Secure SAFE and F-Secure Freedome into a single subscription. F-Secure SAFE is a multi-device internet security suite designed to protect the devices that people count on. Freedome is a VPN that gives people a hassle-free way to encrypt their communications over public Wi-Fi, change their virtual location to access geo-blocked websites and streaming services, and block malicious websites and online tracking attempts.
According to Sean Sullivan, Security Advisor, F-Secure, packaging the capabilities offered by these products into a single offering is a logical way to make comprehensive protection more affordable to people and families with a number of different devices.
While F-Secure SAFE and Freedome remain different products (and can still be purchased separately), many of their features supplement each other to offer more comprehensive security than the products offer on their own. Some recent improvements to the two pieces of software include:
• Silent upgrades that ensure software is automatically updated with the latest capabilities (SAFE PC)
• Parental controls now available on all supported platforms (SAFE)
• Improved installation on all platforms (SAFE)
• Ability to create Wi-Fi hotspots with Android devices while VPN is turned on (Freedome)
Additionally, improvements to My F-Secure – SAFE’s online portal – offer improved visibility to the status and protection history of the different devices running SAFE.
