F-Secure, TDS Telecom launch powerful scam protection service

LOS ANGELES, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TDS Telecom and global cyber security leader F-Secure expanded their partnership this month to bring cutting-edge scam protection to TDS Internet Security Suite customers across the U.S. The enhanced cyber security features in the TDS Internet Security Suite will not only protect customers from daily digital threats, but also exponentially increase the service's value.

The launch comes at a time when online scams are exploding in volume and sophistication – nearly half of the population reported falling victim to a scam in the last year alone. That's where F-Secure comes in: With its scam protection tools now integrated into the TDS Internet Security Suite, TDS Telecom customers with this service can navigate the connected world with more confidence and less worry.

"Scams today are engineered to deceive even the most tech-savvy users. By integrating our advanced scam protection into the TDS Internet Security Suite, we're enabling a more proactive, intelligent defense against evolving digital threats," added Alexander Julin, Senior Vice President, Major Partners at F-Secure. "This partnership reflects our shared commitment to raising the standard for everyday online security."

This added layer of security is part of TDS Telecom's broader effort to protect customers from fraud and cyber crime. TDS Internet Security Suite is an all-in-one solution that offers browsing protection, virus protection, identity monitoring, password vault, and family/parental controls. Now with added scam protection, TDS Telecom users will be better protected from phishing and email scams, fraudulent texts and malicious links, banking/shopping scams and more.

"With F-Secure's cutting-edge scam protection built right into the TDS Internet Security Suite, our goal is to stop scams at the source before they ever hit your screen," said Scott Schultz, TDS Telecom Vice President of Product Management and Development. "By helping our customers protect themselves from online scams and fraud, we're giving them more than connectivity. We're giving them peace of mind every time they go online or use their phone."

Raising the bar for consumer security

F-Secure's security solutions give service providers the ability to effortlessly boost their offerings with unmatched scam-protection features, including online security, privacy protection, identity monitoring, parental controls and more. F-Secure's unique anti-scam technology integrates into the provider's own dedicated security or multi-purpose apps, giving their customers a complete, all-in-one security package.

F-Secure's newest scam protection capabilities block digital threats around-the-clock for more than 200 service providers and their millions of customers. Collected data shows:

-500,000 per day - detections and blocks of malware
