Wind Tre and Avast deepen partnership with a converged smart home security offering for Wind brand subscribers, based on Avast's Smart Life IoT security platform for carriers
Redwood City, California, U.S. & London, U.K., August 1 , 2019 - Avast (LSE:AVST), a global leader in digital security products, today announced the roll-out of a new router security service based on Avast Smart Life, to Wind Tre, a top Italian mobile operator and among the main operators in the fixed-line market. Following on from the market launch of the WIND FAMILY PROTECT application in December, which offers on-the-go parental control solutions for families in Italy, Wind Tre is now the first of our carrier partners worldwide to add router security to its offering for Wind brand subscribers, based on Avast's Smart Life platform, to help its subscribers protect their connected homes and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
"We are delighted that we completed the second phase of our WIND FAMILY PROTECT product roll-out, with the availability of added router security for Wind subscribers in Italy," said Peter Hobbs, VP Global Mobile Partnerships at Avast. "We share a common goal with Wind Tre in providing converged digital protection for Wind customers using the Wind Tre network, across their devices, both in the home and on-the-go. Wind already offers a mobile security solution and parental controls product based on Avast technology. The new router-based offering adds an additional level of security for Wind customers merging the protection of their home networks and connected devices through a single service. This is the first offering globally of a truly unified, centrally managed, and easy-to-use in-the-home and out-of-the-home protection solution."
"The lives of families and individuals in Italy are increasingly becoming digital, and keeping them safe shouldn't add more complexity to their lives, which is why we're offering them a fully integrated solution with WIND FAMILY PROTECT, allowing customers to protect themselves and their families at home and on-the-go," said Tommaso Vitali, B2C Marketing Director of Wind Tre. "Avast's technology perfectly fulfills our requirements in offering sophisticated security, with an easy-to-use interface for our subscribers
