"By addressing the specific requirements of security combined with mobility and ease-of-use, we have created a product line that is one of the most widely deployed mobile VPN products in the world with more than 1.4 million client licenses sold. Support for Symbian 9.1 is a natural part of our mission to provide our customers with a complete security solution that enables new mobile services and increased data revenues."
