M1 launches new malware detection service

Singapore

M1 Limited (M1) has launched a network-based mobile malware detection solution, M1 Mobile Guard, which works by checking devices accessing M1's mobile network for signs that it may be infected by malware. This enables Mobile Guard to offer convenient always-on protection, a spokesman for the company said.

M1 said this was Asia's first such solution and that it was powered by Nokia's NetGuard Endpoint Security network-based anti-malware solution.
