Intel and McAfee unites PC and mobile device security in LiveSafe, a cross-platform security suite combining cloud-based storage with biometric authentication and other security technologies.
The service protects PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets against malware and spam, secures devices against loss or theft (with remote device tracking, locking, wiping and data recovery from a single online console), and handles passwords through the SafeKey manager.
It also offers data storage with Personal Locker, a Dropbox-style cloud-based service for sensitive documents. Personal Locker provides 1GB of storage and access comes through the combination of voice, face and device recognition technologies.
Handling all these features is Intel Protection Technology, the authentication mechanism integrated in the most recent Intel processors.
LiveSafe will be available in retail from July 2013, with an annual subscription covering an unlimited number of devices.
