CANNES, France-- -Dangaard Telecom, Europe's largest distributor of mobile phones
and BullGuard, specialists in user-friendly PC & Mobile security solutions,
today announced their partnership to offer BullGuard Mobile, security software
for Pocket PCs and smartphones, in all Dangaard's 15 key markets.
"Security applications on mobile devices will become an industry standard within
a very short period of time. By acting now we will make security a key differentiator
on the mobile phone market and offer significant added value to our partners...We
are ready to deliver BullGuard Mobile across the range of platforms, from Windows
Mobile-based systems to Symbian. This will secure the vast majority of current
smartphone users and further Dangaard's position as the preferred pan-European
Value Adding Distributor," said Michael Koehn Milland, COO of Dangaard Telecom.
He continued: "BullGuard has moved very quickly to cover the full range with
quality products and that is why we believe they are the best option on the mobile
security market."
BullGuard has made home users and small businesses its core customers by focusing
on user-friendliness, design and cutting-edge technology. This experience has
been key to building the current range of mobile phone security applications,
designed to protect with a minimum of user-intervention.
Morten Lund, CEO of BullGuard stated: "Using Pocket PCs and smartphones is all
about connectivity and convenience -- that doesn't blend very well with security
threats. People should be able to use mobile devices, with a minimum of fuss,
without being concerned about harmful content. We have seen the first viruses
for mobile devices and Dangaard Telecom have chosen to lead the way by placing
BullGuard Mobile in the middle of their drive to make security a key differentiator
in the marketplace."
