Cybercrime doesn’t just affect end users. Infected networks cost providers huge losses through needing to deploy expensive internal resources to clean, repair and manage any damage caused. In addition to direct theft of data, operators experience additional financial pressures from increases in service calls from infected end-users, researching and refunding fraudulent charges, reduced network bandwidth and damaged brand association – let alone the risk of potential fines and penalties.
Reduce your risk, improve your anti-cybercrime activities, and enjoy more profitable customers with F-Secure AntiBot: a cutting-edge, new product specifically designed to clean an operator’s network of botnets.
F-Secure AntiBot is designed to automatically detect and identify infected network devices and remotely disinfect them. It can guide end-users through a simple cleanup process that reduces or eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming calls to your helpdesk and support services – thus providing a more customer-centric and positive experience.
A Bot is a malware-infected device that gets taken over and remotely controlled by cybercriminals. A Botnet is created when cybercrimals are able to take over a number of devices and link them together to perform broader activities and more extensive damage – like sending mass spam that hogs a network bandwidth, sending text messages to premium numbers, or flooding recipients with unwanted ads. They can even take a device “hostage;” requiring a ransom to be paid before ceding control back to the owner.
“Botnets are not only extremely disrupting to consumers, in that they impact device and Internet performance, they are also a risk to their privacy.” says Pekka Mettälä, Head of Global Business Development at F-Secure. “Private credentials like passwords can be stolen, giving access to online bank accounts, social media accounts, and other personal data. Operators who can provide customers with more simplified or automated and robust protection from botnets, will enjoy a distinct advantage over their competitors as well as more satisfied and loyal customers.”
Operators benefit directly through reducing their network’s vulnerability and through doing their part towards stopping the proliferation of botnets and cybercrime. Expensive resources previously dedicated to repairs and maintenance after an infection is discovered, can now be utilized for more productive activities.
Customers benefit from an overall reduction of risk as well as a more simplified process for dealing with their infected devices.

Consumers are adopt more and more devices for daily use – from smart phones to tablets to laptops and pcs. And they want those devices to share and have access to more and more content – from simple documents to photos and videos and more. Research shows that consumers want personal cloud services and that they want to know their photos, videos, documents, and data are safe, secure, and under their control. According to our research* 68 percent of consumers are concerned about third parties gaining access to their content due to vulnerabilities in cloud storage providers’ technology, and 42 percent feel they are losing control of their content. Yet, these are issues that should be of concern for everyone!
“Content Anywhere is the world’s safest cloud,” says Timo Laaksonen, Vice President, Content Cloud at F-Secure. “We are a security company with over two decades of security expertise. Our cloud is built and managed according to proven security processes. It’s not simply an afterthought like some other services out there.”
Designed with platform openness, data portability and data sovereignty in mind, Content Anywhere can easily be configured under your brand’s look & feel, while the service platform integrates directly to your authentication, provisioning and billing systems. Further VAS services can also be launched on the platform with ease - giving you the opportunity to provide your customers with access to their precious content from any device with confidence it’s private and secure because it is offered from a brand they trust: yours.

Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly targeted and particularly susceptible to cyberattacks: primarily botnets and vulnerability exploits. Caught between expensive services aimed at large enterprises and consumer products that don’t meet their business needs, SMBs have struggled to adequately protect themselves and face increasing business and financial risks.
With F-Secure’s Protection Service for Business, you can provide SMBs with comprehensive protection against online threats with a full armor of advanced features and functionalities – all designed specifically for small and medium-sized companies.
“Cybercriminals who create botnets, or networks of remote-controlled zombie computers, are attracted to business networks specifically because of the large numbers of computers networked together.” says Esa Tornikoski, Product Manager at F-Secure. “And because many SMBs lack the recourses of large enterprises, they often utilize lout-of-date, unpatched, or especially vulnerable software, they offer easy and often rewarding targets for cyberattck and adoption into Botnet activities.”
That’s why F-Secure’s Protection Service for Business is designed specifically to simplify your SMB customers’ security activities: allowing them to focus on their core business while ensuring the highest levels of protection. Protection Service for Business protects their network against all online threats, keeping botnets out, keeping software current, and protecting against exploits: Securing the whole business environment from computers to mobiles, and file servers and email. And because SMB resources are often limited, Protection Service for Business is hosted by F-Secure and includes a web-based management portal – eliminating the need for additional servers and reducing on-sight costs and maintenance.
“As a service rather than a product, PSB is like the difference between having a bullet-proof vest and a personal bodyguard,” says Tornikoski. “PSB is the bodyguard.”

The home pc is no longer the only consumer device in need of protection. Because consumers are increasingly adopting more internet-enabled devices like televisions, tablets and smartphones among others, and because of ever shortening lifecycles (53 percent of consumers replace their mobile phones every one or two years*) – consumers face a complex challenge keeping their data and content private and secure. Operators who can provide a convenient way to self-manage the security of all their devices, will strengthen their relationships with their customers and expand their revenue streams.
Safe Avenue provides a user-friendly interface that displays all the customer’s secured devices along with the collection of available security service offerings. The customer can add a device, remove a device, or move security from one device to another in just a few clicks. Not only convenient for customers, this self-service portal also helps reduce support calls to operator helpdesks. F-Secure’s Safe Avenue gives operators a fast and convenient way to expand their service portfolios and provide consumers converged value-added security and backup solutions.
