Webroot, a leader in cloud-based security intelligence solutions, today announced that it is extending its partnership with Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) to now provide the social network's expansive base of international users with protection against online security threats both on and off Facebook.

 

Cybercriminals are progressively developing sophisticated methods of accessing individuals' valuable data and identities. As reported in Webroot's recent Web security study, phishing represents one of the fastest-growing causes of breaches and data loss. Facebook users can now protect themselves from anywhere against phishing as well as viruses, malware and identity theft by downloading the award-winning Webroot SecureAnywhere cloud-based protection for their computers for no charge through the Facebook AV Marketplace. The expansion will be language-based and will auto-detect the user's preferred Facebook language.
