Helsinki, October 8th / PRNewswire / -- Consumer cybersecurity company F-Secure and the global leader in cybersecurity, device, and network intelligence for service providers, CUJO AI, announced today that they will collaborate to provide joint protection solutions for the world's largest tier-1 communication service provider ( Tier-1 CSPs ). The two parties will integrate their top-tier security capabilities into a single security experience that covers both home and outdoor scenarios, combining home network security and device intelligence with the most widely deployed endpoint security products on the market.

Consumer fraud and deception are evolving, with scams crossing the boundaries of networks and devices at a faster pace than most consumers can keep up with. Artificial intelligence is further accelerating this change, making fraud more rapid to generate and harder to detect. F-Secure states that this marks a turning point in trust: as AI weakens consumers' ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, consumers will turn to rely on service providers they trust.

Research by F-Secure shows that 80% of consumers hope their service providers will help them stay secure. Both parties stated that this collaboration and the integrated solution are built on the unique opportunity for communication service providers to transform this trust into daily protection.

This collaboration combines the endpoints, identity, privacy, and fraud protection of F-Secure, as well as its embedded security capabilities, with the home network security, fine-grained device management, and network intelligence of CUJO AI. Both parties stated that this will help communication service providers protect consumers at both the home network and personal device levels, while providing a seamless security experience both at home and when out and about.

As consumers increasingly switch between home broadband, mobile networks, applications, and connected devices, their security needs also extend across multiple environments. However, protection is often provided in the form of separate products and experiences that are not integrated with each other. CUJO AI and F-Secure are collaborating to simplify this landscape, helping communication service providers to integrate complementary cybersecurity capabilities into a more seamless and consistent consumer experience.

"In the era of proxy-based AI, the trust advantage of communication service providers has never been so clear, and we also recognize the importance of equipping leading service providers around the world with the capabilities to protect customers in a holistic manner," said Timo Laaksonen, President and CEO of F-Secure. "We are delighted to collaborate with CUJO AI to achieve this goal; this partnership demonstrates the natural evolution of providing the best combination of solutions and comprehensive protection in an ever-evolving threat landscape."

"Consumers do not view security as isolated components; they simply want to be protected wherever they connect," said Remko Vos, CEO of CUJO AI. "We have already helped service providers protect millions of households through advanced network-based cybersecurity, fraud protection, and device intelligence. By combining these capabilities with F-Secure's expertise in endpoint security and fraud protection, we can help service providers bridge the gap between home network protection and device protection, creating a more seamless security experience for consumers."

Designed for the world's most stringent networks

The joint solution of F-Secure and CUJO AI is designed specifically for the operational scale and complexity of the world's largest communication service providers, and it boasts several unique advantages:

• Unified Experience: Home network security and endpoint security are combined into a single, trusted protection view that covers both home and outdoor scenarios.
• Easier to adopt: Home network security can drive the adoption of endpoint security – whether it's by adding "full-scenario protection" as an additional sale to customers, or by converting paid but unprotected customers into users who receive comprehensive protection on every device and are more actively engaged.
• Higher value, more relevance: Network intelligence from home network security transforms insights from daily use into personalized upsell solutions driven by endpoint security, while real-time reminders notify customers at the moments when attention is needed – allowing security itself to create value and earn trust.

Both parties stated that this collaboration represents an exciting development and opportunity for F-Secure, CUJO AI, as well as the world's leading communication service providers.
