About this app

We socialise and work on our mobile devices – wherever, whenever. The number of mobile devices and sensitive information on them make them an attractive target to cyber criminals.
WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection is a proactive, streamlined, full-coverage protection for Android. Fight off phishing attempts, prevent visiting harmful websites, block malware and detect potential vulnerabilities.

Key features at a glance:
• Browsing Protection prevents visiting malicious websites.
• Ultralight Anti-Malware blocks common viruses and modern malware and detects ransomware.
• Anti-Tracking prevents online tracking from advertisers and cyber criminals.
• Third-party mobile device management (MDM) support for VMware Workspace ONE, IBM Security MaaS360, Google Workspace Endpoint Management, Microsoft Intune, Miradore, Ivanti Endpoint Management, and Samsung Knox.

Note: WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection is only available for business use and requires a valid endpoint protection licence.

Note: In order to use Browsing Protection and Anti-Tracking, a local VPN profile will be created. Your traffic will not be routed through third-party servers as happens with a traditional VPN. The local VPN profile is used to evaluate the reputation of URLs before they are loaded.

Ratings and reviews

Really secure, starts blocking all traffic quite often... Changed from two stars to one. Because turning off was not enough, had to force stop so could pair the phone with garmin device...

*update: 26-Apr-2024: updated to latest version 24.3 still no VPN functionality. without built-in VPN this application is half USELESS for users! why then "VPN & proxy"?! *update: 16-Apr-2024 after "Mobile Protection" client update "Network protection" option is back. But new CRITICAL issue: where is the former WithSecure mobile VPN?! I don't have any other VPN app. How can I select a country and use VPN, as I did before with "Mobile protection"? Critical functionality is now missing.

Not the most visually stunning experience. Unnecessary steps required to adjust antivirus or VPN. Biggest minus to me is the battery usage. The app drains 10x more battery than any other app I have. WTH is up with that F-Secure?
