F-Secure's enterprise-facing business will have a new brand - WithSecure - and a sharpened focus when the company splits into two independent operations.

The move comes a month after the security vendor's board of directors revealed that the 34-year-old Helsinki-based company would carve out the consumer security business from its enterprise unit.

Splitting the company in two makes sense, given the size of both the corporate and consumer units, and the business momentum each is experiencing, according to Hintikka.

Being an independent company will help WithSecure better define itself in an increasingly competitive global security market, Hintikka argued.

Such a focus will also help the new company's third-party sellers, who have in the past had to spend the first 15 minutes with corporate customers explaining the differences between what F-Secure's enterprise unit offered and what the consumer operations had in its portfolio.

Hintikka said WithSecure will compete in a global market in which many of the companies are similar, with comparable products and skills.
