Tablet Protects Lenovo’s Android-based ThinkPad Tablet against device loss
and theft, viruses and spyware and allows users to safely surf the Web MARKHAM, Ontario - Jan. 16, 2012 - McAfee today announced that McAfee
Mobile Security software will be preloaded on Lenovo’s Android-based
ThinkPad Tablet for business users. McAfee Mobile Security software will
be available as a 30-day trial. This move extends McAfee’s ongoing
collaboration with Lenovo to safeguard both the device and its stored
information. “The tremendous popularity of mobile devices and their subsequent
adoption in the workplace means IT organizations must worry about
data-compromising malware as well as the danger of lost and stolen
devices,” said John Thode, executive vice president and general
manager, consumer, small business and mobile, McAfee. “As these
devices store increasing amounts of personal and corporate data, they
need to be secured to avoid potentially damaging data breaches, network
intrusions or hacker attacks.” “Today more companies and employees are using mobile technology
devices - both at home and in the workplace, and we built our ThinkPad
Tablet with this in mind,” said Tom Butler, director, ThinkPad
Business Unit, Lenovo. “McAfee Mobile Security provides the
comprehensive set of security features that users need to protect their
personal information stored on tablet devices, as well as to provide
safeguards for business data.” McAfee® Mobile Security software is a powerful combination of McAfee®
VirusScan® Mobile software, McAfee® WaveSecure™ software and McAfee®
SiteAdvisor™ for Android software. The solution protects a mobile device
if it's lost or stolen; safeguards it against mobile viruses and
spyware; and allows users to safely surf the Web. Users can recover lost
devices with alarm and location tracking, prevent misuse with remote
lock and wipe and preserve important memories and personal data with
remote backup and restore options. At the same time, McAfee Mobile
Security protects against the risk of malware that originates via email,
instant messaging and Internet downloads. For more information on
