M1 launches mobile malware detector

It alerts the user of malware through SMS and e-mail.

M1 launched M1 Mobile Guard, network-exclusive malware detector for mobile phones.

According to a press release, this will also be the first network-based anti-malware product in Asia.

Mobile Guard is powered by Nokia's NetGuard Endpoint Security. It will check devices accessing M1's mobile network for signs of malware infection.

Once it determines that a device has been compromised, it will send an SMS and e-mail alert to the customer's mobile number and email address.

Mobile Guard will cost $2 a month and will be accessed through M1's app.

M1 chief innovation officer Alex Tan said, "M1’s Mobile Guard is the only solution in our market to offer always-on, end-to-end network-driven malware protection – helping customers perform a device health assessment, detecting and alerting customers to a threat, and helping them eliminate any threat found."

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
