F-Secure safeguards US General Motors Dealer Equipment customers from Internet security threats
GM dealerships rely on the Internet for day-to-day business operations. In order to ensure that business can continue without interruption, the dealerships must protect their desktop computers and networks from the devastating effects of malicious viruses, spam and other malware threats. However, individual dealerships do not always have the IT resources needed to maintain a high level of security.
F-Secure® Corporation has announced that Nuspire Networks will be using F-Secure Protection Services for Business to safeguard its General Motors Dealer Equipment customers across the United States from Internet security threats.
"F-Secure Protection Services for Business will allow dealerships to focus on their core business of selling cars rather than data security," said Curtis Cresta, Vice President and General Manager, North American operations at F-Secure. "Our relationship with Nuspire allows us to showcase the benefits of offering security as a service, which will provide dealerships a robust and comprehensive security solution without the need to spend valuable time and resources trying to manage their own computer networks."
A co-branded desktop security service, F-Secure Protection Services for Business is a complete managed security as a service solution. It is easy to deploy and features F-Secure's anti-virus client software and a user-friendly web-based management portal. Through the portal, service providers can dynamically distribute security solutions to customers quickly and cost-effectively.
"Offering security as a service is an ideal way to enable us to easily and effectively secure the computer systems and ensure business continuity at GM dealerships," said Saylor Frase, President at Nuspire. "F-Secure's long, successful track record of delivering industry leading security solutions will help us quickly bring dealerships online with security services and deliver the most up-to-date protection available."
The managed security as a service solution from F-Secure and Nuspire is available to over 7,000 GM dealerships nationwide.
