But the dark side of the multi-device trend is that each additional Internet connection is another gateway for cybercriminals to try to exploit the user. New F-Secure SAFE makes it simple for consumers to protect their computers and mobile devices with just one product.

"Today, security is about protecting your entire online life, and that includes whatever device you use," says Perttu Tynkkynen, director Consumer Sales & Marketing at F-Secure.

"People generally understand they need to protect their PCs. But many are leaving their Android devices vulnerable - and Macs too. With F-Secure SAFE, consumers can get the protection they need for their computer, and on top of it, conveniently secure their mobile devices too."

Indeed, smartphones and tablets are highly vulnerable to loss or theft, putting consumers' data, content and identity at risk. The mobile malware scene is also constantly evolving, with the numbers of new threats growing by at least 25 percent every quarter. Android malware has appeared outside its traditional realm of shady app stores in the form of malvertising and drive-by downloads.
