F-Secure has inked a deal with Airangel Limited, a market leading Wi-Fi provider in the UK, to eliminate snooping, block harmful web links and improve the privacy and safety of thousands of Wi-Fi hotspot users across the UK. Users of Airangel’s Wi-Fi hotspots are taken to a landing page that will allow them to protect their online privacy with F-Secure security solutions.
Public and guest Wi-Fi use in the UK is becoming ever more common, especially the use of free public hotspots. This – at a time when online privacy is also a growing concern. Britons want to be able to use the Internet safely with the peace of mind that their every move is not being tracked or snooped upon by marketers, hackers and government agencies.
Allen Scott, Managing Director of F-Secure UK and Ireland, explained, “Wi-Fi is now ubiquitous. It is one of the most marvellous and useful technologies we have at our disposal. However, its commonality can foster misplaced feelings of familiarity and safety among users. It’s fine to use an unsecure connection to check the latest football results, but once you open up social networking apps or send communications, encryption is vital.”
F-Secure Freedome is a security and online privacy app to protect mobile devices, especially when using public Wi-Fi. The simple and intuitive app includes a VPN, antivirus, anti-tracking and anti-phishing. Using an Airangel-powered connection, customers will still enjoy the fast, uninterrupted Internet browsing access they are familiar with, along with the option of added protection.
