Security on smartphones gets real

Seems like the mobile security industry is shaking :

  • In May, McAfee bought mobile security provider Trust Digital for an undisclosed price
  • Last week, Lookout announced it has gotten more than a million registered users in the past six months for its smartphone security app which includes anti-virus, anti-spy/mal-ware, lock and wipe and backup and restore for android, windows mobile and blackberry

Lookout recently secured a second round of funding increasing total funding to a wooping $16.5 million and has only 20 employees – sounds lean enough and ready to last.
