This phrase was coined by Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure when referring to bots and malware. F-Secure is a provider of IT security products and services. They are considered to be one of the leaders in the IT security field and are on the cutting edge of secure data transmission products.
With security being on the collective minds of many corporations, F-Secure provides effective and intelligent methods of secure data transmissions over the web by utilizing both existing protocols and new technologies. F-Secure pioneered the “security as a service” business model, and has sold this service to over 180 ISP’s around the world.
F-Secure has made a name for themselves in the industry by providing secure products for numerous platforms, and by detecting threats before they reach the general population. Their Chief Research Officer, Mikko Hypponen, is a visionary who has gained the respect of CIO’s worldwide for his ability to identify a threat, mitigate the threat, and quickly deploy a fix for the threat before it begins to propagate.
Since security as a service is easy to deploy, protection can be provided for an end user or a large organization at a minimal cost. This allows F-Secure to remain viable while developing new technology based products. With less than 800 employees, F-Secure is a lean and mean juggernaut in the IT security industry.
