McAfee has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire tenCube, in an effort to remotely control the mobile phones. Trust Digital’s enterprise mobility management and McAfee’s mobile security technology gives it the capabilities it needs to deliver the next-generation mobility platform. McAfee will now have a single platform, from the consumer to the enterprise, to address the management and security of all types of devices, to all markets and with the most robust feature set.
McAfee now has the technology needed for users and their families to locate, lock, encrypt, protect against malware, wipe, filter, manage, back up, restore and access their data online. It expands the addressable device market with mobile device platform support, including a wide range of mobile operating systems like Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, iPhone and Java-powered feature phones.
“Mobile devices have become an extension of our lives,” said Darius Cheung, Chief Executive Officer, tenCube. “Through this acquisition, McAfee can broaden its security capabilities and offer users protection and remote control of the phone whether it is in their possession or not. This means no more worries about the whereabouts of your phone or losing personal contacts, photos or messages.”
