F-Secure Integrates PureSight’s Parental Control Features Into its Flagship ISP product — Security as a Service Suite
F-Secure Corporation (HEX: FSC) and PureSight, Inc. of San Clemente, Calif. today announced that the F-Secure Security as a Serviceâ„? concept is being extended to include Parental Control functionality based on PureSight, Inc.’s leading edge Internet Content Filtering SDK.
