Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, F-Secure has built a strong presence in the cybersecurity industry with a focus on privacy, simplicity, and reliable digital protection. Their antivirus products cater to individuals and families, offering cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
