McAfee Mobile Security to protect the LG
Watch Urbane LTE
News Highlights:
- McAfee® Mobile Security from Intel®
Security will be available on LG Watch Urbane LTE to help protect
users personal data
Mobile World Congress — Intel Security today announced
that it will help protect the LG Watch Urbane LTE with McAfee
Mobile Security. Last June, the two companies announced that all LG
G3 smartphones would come pre-installed with McAfee Mobile Security
providing customers a more secure way to download new apps, shop
online, interact on social networks and use their devices for
banking and ecommerce.
The IDC predicts that over 112 million wearables will be sold
globally by the year 2018. As wearable technology continues to
grow, new security and privacy risks may emerge. Wearables often
interact with other devices and some may collect data, which makes
them a potential target for hackers who want to tap into and access
sensitive personal information, such as location, login
credentials, credit card information, health information and much
more.
"As wearable devices gain critical mass, the data they store is
likely to be increasingly targeted because the value of the data is
roughly 10 times that of a stolen credit card," said, John
Giamatteo, senior vice president and general manager at Intel
Security. "It’s important that security be integrated into these
new devices in order to help detect and protect against evolving
threats. We are excited about working with a leader like LG
Electronics, to offer users around the world our award-winning
security software.”
LG G3 smartphone users are already protected with McAfee Mobile
Security that integrates the LG Kill Switch feature allowing them
to disable their phones remotely in the event of loss or theft. Now
McAfee Mobile Security will also be available on the LG Watch
Urbane LTE with anti-theft capabilities allowing them to lock,
locate and wipe their devices, if needed. McAfee Mobile Security
solution for LG watch Urbane LTE will be distributed by LG
SmartWorld.
