F-Secure Total Security and Privacy

F-Secure is a globally recognized cybersecurity provider headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. The company was founded in 1988 under the name Data Fellows by Risto Siilasmaa and Petri Allas, making it one of the oldest and most established digital security firms in Europe.

Over several decades, F-Secure has evolved from a small data recovery and antivirus startup into a significant player in the global security market. The brand is particularly well-regarded for its commitment to European privacy standards and its focus on consumer protection, including its integrated VPN and identity theft protection services.

In 2022, the company underwent a significant corporate restructuring where its business-to-business (B2B) security division was spun off into an independent company called WithSecure. The remaining F-Secure entity now focuses exclusively on consumer cybersecurity solutions. This streamlined operation remains publicly traded on the Nasdaq Helsinki, maintaining its status as a pride of the Finnish technology sector with all development and strategic operations led from its Finland headquarters.
