AVG Puts People First for Mobile SecurityNew version of AVG Zen Delivers Family-Focused Security Service to Telcos AMSTERDAM and SAN FRANCISCO, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AVG® Technologies N.V. (NYSE: AVG), the online security company™ for 197 million active users, today previewed the next version of the AVG Zen™ platform to mobile operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). With the consumer launch currently planned for later this year, AVG Zen delivers a new family-first approach to security, including support for industry partner apps and wearables on customers' devices, all in one place. With digital lives becoming more complex in an Internet of Things world, security is now about protecting people as well as their devices and personal data. The next version of AVG Zen delivers three core pillars:
AVG Zen enables mobile operators to provide context-aware alerts, updates and information direct to the customer to give them control and transparency of their security across their family, data, and devices. "People not only want their online rights to be recognized, they want more control and responsibility over their online actions and those of family members. But today, their online experience is still disconnected. In the 2015 consumer trust survey we carried out with MEF, 72 percent were not happy sharing personal data with apps, 40 percent named privacy and security as important when choosing a mobile device, and another 34 percent relied on dedicated security apps to protect them," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Chief Technology Officer, AVG Technologies. "Mobile operators and online security companies hold a trusted position in consumers' lives and we have the opportunity to transform their connected experience by bringing everything together all in one central place."
