Ooredoo Gives Mobile Users Online Security Tips to Navigate Cyberspace Safely

Mobilk - In line with its high standard of customer care, Oman’s data experience leader Ooredoo is raising awareness on the importance of installing anti-virus software on smartphones to navigate cyberspace safely. As most phones have little or no anti-virus installed, the negative impact of malicious software has continued to follow the expansion of the digital landscape in the Sultanate. 

Raed Dawood, Director of Government Relations and Corporate Affairs at Ooredoo, had this to say on the topic: “We rely almost wholly on our mobile devices, for everything from business to sharing our lives and it is increasingly important that we protect ourselves from hackers and threats. In today’s digital age our handsets are gateways into our entire lives which is why mobile security needs should be a priority for users.”

He added, “Shielding your phone from spyware, viruses, and identity theft is an investment well-worth making that will make sure your time online is safe and secure. There are many types of anti-virus protection applications to choose from, and the best products offer nearly complete shielding from viruses, spyware and spam.”

Each anti-virus app comes with its own features and advantages that mobile users should research to choose the product that best suits their needs.
