NetQin And Commtouch Enter Agreement for Delivery Of Mobile Security And Advanced URL Filtering Solutions
Companies to integrate Commtouch's GlobalView URL Filtering into NetQin Mobile Security
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NetQin Mobile Inc. (NYSE: NQ), a
leading global provider of consumer-centric mobile security and productivity
applications, today announced an agreement with Commtouch' (NASDAQ: CTCH) to
integrate Commtouch's GlobalView(TM) URL Filtering into NetQin Mobile Security.
Commtouch's GlobalView URL Filtering is a cloud-based URL filtering solution
that provides insight into security threats, identifying harmful sites before
users are exposed to them. Its unique technology continuously monitors and
analyzes Web traffic to categorize URLs in realtime. GlobalView URL Filtering
will now be included as part of NetQin Mobile Security, which protects
smartphones against mobile security and privacy threats, including malware,
spyware, viruses, and hackers, while keeping devices running at optimal speed.
"Every day, people use their smartphones for email, banking, playing games, and
browsing the Internet. In many ways, mobile phones are mini-computers and they
expose people to the same types of undesirable content and security risks
they're exposed to on their PCs," said Dr. Henry Yu Lin, NetQin's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. "People need the same strong, reliable security and
filtering options they have on their home computers on their mobile devices. By
integrating Commtouch's URL filtering solution with NetQin's mobile security
technology, we're giving customers the best security and privacy protection
tools to protect their mobile devices."
NetQin Mobile Security users can more safely browse the Web on their phones,
while the URL filtering solution is continuously working to detect and block
malicious websites and suspicious URLs in their emails and text messages. The
end result for users is effective protection against phishing attacks and other
types of cybercrimes, which often result in financial losses and identity theft.
"With mobile devices overtaking computers for day-to-day activities like
browsing the Web, the need for strong threat protection is substantial and
growing," said Ofer Tal, vice president of international sales and business
development at Commtouch. "We are pleased to take a leadership position in
protecting mobile users in this collaboration with NetQin, one of the fastest
growing and leading mobile smartphone security providers."
