TCL and F-Secure Collaborated on Enhanced Broadband Solutions
In the face of complex network usage scenarios and the growing demand for network utilization, this focus on performance and reliability is especially critical amid growing consumer concerns around cybersecurity. According to F-Secure research, 77% of consumers worry about their online safety, while global losses to scams were reported to have reached $1.03 trillion in 2024 (Global Anti-Scam Alliance, 2024). 81% of consumers now expect their internet provider to offer protection, signaling a clear emphasis on user expectations (F-Secure).
To address these challenges, TCL has partnered with F-Secure to integrate high-end security into its connectivity devices. This collaboration embeds F-Secure’s advanced cybersecurity technologies and global threat intelligence into TCL’s connectivity solutions, delivering comprehensive, multi-layered protections. The solution ensures smart home security by blocking malicious connections and detecting anomalous device behavior, safeguards browsing and banking activities through automatic blocking of malware and phishing sites based on URL reputation analysis, while also ensuring privacy protection and malware protection by preventing tracking sites from collecting user data and stopping viruses trojans and ransomware. Unlike traditional security solutions that require manual installation and configuration, F-Secure’s router-embedded approach delivers automatic, always-on security without requiring user setup, building a full-scale security barrier for every connected device. This integration ensures proactive defense against evolving cyber threats and online scams without compromising network speed or user experience.
“Through our collaboration with F-Secure, TCL has introduced advanced cybersecurity features into its comprehensive broadband solutions, providing robust, user-centric protection that includes device security, privacy safeguards, and intelligent management”, said Jesse Wu, the General Manager of TCL Smarted Connected Device. “This partnership reinforces TCL’s promise to offer reliable, safe, and efficient connectivity solutions with high-speed network performance that users can depend on—every day, everywhere.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with TCL to further enhance the security of their full portfolio products and solutions,” said Dmitri Vellikok, Vice President, Embedded Security at F-Secure. “By integrating F-Secure’s advanced cybersecurity capabilities, TCL smart connected devices provide operators and users with multi-layered protection against online threats, protecting their personal information.”
