Fortinet announces security software for mobile devices

MUMBAI

JULY 4, 2006

Fortinet - the leading provider of multi-threat security solutions -
announced FortiClient Mobile, an integrated security software agent for
Microsoft Windows Mobile and Symbian OS-enabled mobile smart phones and PDAs.

Extending the capabilities of Fortinet's FortiClient endpoint security
software, FortiClient Mobile allows mobile operators and handset manufacturers
to offer subscribers increased security.  The software is the first mobile
endpoint security solution on the market to integrate full antivirus, MMS/SMS
anti-spam, personal firewall and address book protection and IPSec VPN
capabilities to protect mobile subscribers against constantly evolving and
sophisticated mobile threats.

FortiClient Mobile secures the growing number of smart phone subscribers that
leverage standard operating systems such as Windows Mobile and Symbian. These
operating systems provide powerful access to mobile enterprise applications,
such as Microsoft Office Mobile, as well as rich 2.5G and 3G value-add services
that include messaging, web browsing, VoIP and video.

"Today's sophisticated and criminal-oriented blended threats cannot
effectively be combated by yesterday's point product security technologies, such
as the standalone anti-virus software, that currently resides on millions of
mobile phone devices," said Freddy Mangum, Vice President of Product
Marketing for Fortinet. "Smart mobile phone devices require a multi-layered
and integrated security approach that can fully protect the mobile
subscriber."

FortiClient Mobile is available for evaluation on Fortinet.com and will be
available through key mobile carriers and selected phone set manufacturers.
FortiClient Mobile runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and Symbian OS versions 7.0, 8.0
and 9.0 for specified smart phones.
