Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0 will provide several integrated security technologies for mobile devices, including:

• Antivirus – Immediately detects mobile threats and prevents users from accessing an infected file. Administrators can schedule regular virus scans and updates via Symantec LiveUpdate;
• Firewall – Controls both inbound and outbound network traffic on the mobile device;
• Anti-SMS Spam – Automatically filters and deletes spam messages, or places them in a separate spam folder;
• Loss mitigation technologies – Encrypts data on the device and memory cards in case it is lost or stolen. A file activity log helps administrators determine if confidential files have been accessed, and a data wipe tool erases all data after a maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts.
• Phone Feature Control – Allows administrators to enable and disable certain device features, such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and device synching. This limits security vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors by only providing access to those features required for business;
• Symantec Mobile VPN – This optional add-on enables enterprise customers to connect to corporate networks through secure IPSec VPN tunnels in order to protect sensitive data and interactions;
• Network Access Control – When used with the Symantec Mobile VPN, this technology enables IT administrators to ensure only secure, policy-compliant devices can access the corporate network;
• Tamper Protection – Verifies that the device’s image and security applications have not been tampered with or altered prior to allowing network access;
• Enterprise Management – Provides a management console for IT administrators with customizable security policies and reporting.
