   Malware is targeting mobile phones and networks. So far it hasn't
been as infectious as its PC counterparts, but visiongain believes it
is only a matter of time before a large scale case makes network
operators and handset manufacturers really sit up and take notice. Is
your company up-to-speed? It should be and this new report will ensure
you are.

   In 2006 the global mobile malware protection market was valued at
$334 million. Visiongain's new report highlights and forecasts the
growth of this area through till 2012 but what will the value of it be
then? This report tells you. The growth for mobile security is driven
by the global economy which impacts business of all sizes and where
connectivity is at the core of all business activities. You must stay
fully informed of how this market is going to develop over the next 5
years.

   Phones have become more sophisticated. The alignment of the
handset and PC means interconnectivity is broader. File transfers
through the mobile network has been joined by files transfers from one
phone to another. With Bluetooth and competing protocols making it
increasingly easy to share files then the ability to share viruses has
also increased. Even SMEs, which may be operating only at a regional
or national level, cannot escape that global connectivity. Their
suppliers may be large multinationals whose employees are equipped
with mobile devices that most likely hold sensitive information about
their business. Where those devices become infected with malware the
risk to the data and potential to access networks of their clients
would be compromised thus putting at risks those SMEs that thought
they were at low risk of attacks.

   Key trends remain that will impact strongly on the mobile security
success:

   Demand for mobile devices still strong

   Cost of devices continue to fall

   Industry participants are growing through M&A and alliances

   False sense of securityWith battery problems and increased memory
requirements today's anti-malware software for mobile platforms eats
up mobile CPU. Smartphones are becoming more powerful and which should
render this a non-issue, but lower-range phones may not have the
strength to run the necessary security applications. Unless the
security manufacturers act on this virus' will be prevalent.

   This report analysis in-depth mobile security solutions from AV
vendors in relation to vertical markets such as consumers, SMEs, large
enterprises and mobile operators. Forecasts are provided and discussed
in terms of geographical and technological markets, and the factors
that are driving forward AV demand are discussed in this report for
each of the above vertical markets. Data traffic is analysed and
discussed in relation to growing mobile operators ARPU and AV
requirements. The report also provides strategies and recommendations
that are applicable to mobile operators, AV vendors and associated
industry participants.

   This report argues that AV is going to become a necessary
application for mobile operators as well as a requirement for
industries of all sizes that use smart devices to access their
business networks. It will also become a valuable application for
consumers wanting to protect expensive smart devices from malware and
virus attacks. The report outlines hurdles and measures that companies
need to implement in order to remain competitive.
