## Key takeaways

- F-Secure and QuTwo are expanding their May 2026 strategic partnership into model compression for on-device scam protection.
- QuTwo compressed models across seven model families by 90% or more while keeping 91-95% of their quality in tests on Finland's LUMI supercomputer.
- F-Secure customers and partners will be the first to benefit from the compressed threat detection models.

[F-Secure](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000tr8/f-secure) and QuTwo said on October 26, 2026 that their partnership is expanding into model compression, applying QuTwo's quantum-inspired AI compression to threat detection models so they can run directly on consumer devices. The [lead report](https://news.cision.com/f-secure/r/f-secure-and-qutwo-bring-advanced-scam-protection-directly-to-consumer-devices,c4414679) said F-Secure customers and partners will be the first to benefit.

## How the QuTwo Compression Works

QuTwo's AI compression combines industry-standard methods with a proprietary quantum-inspired precision-recovery layer, which recovers much of the accuracy that standard methods lose. In recent tests on Finland's LUMI supercomputer, QuTwo compressed models across seven model families by 90% or more while keeping 91-95% of their quality.

F-Secure said the current models capable of advanced threat protection are too large to run on a phone, meaning messages and events are typically sent elsewhere to be analyzed. Compression shrinks these threat detection models to a fraction of their size while keeping accuracy, so they can run on the phone itself. On-device AI can analyse a message or any other event the moment it arrives, or tell the scam warning signs in a video message, which the company said means stronger privacy, instant responses and protection that works even without a network connection.

"AI powered scams are becoming more sophisticated every day, and consumers need protection that is as intelligent as the threats they face," said Timo Laaksonen, President and CEO of F-Secure. "By bringing advanced AI directly onto people's devices, we can protect them instantly, wherever they are, while their personal data stays on their phone."

QuTwo is a European AI lab incubated within PostScriptum, the cradle behind Silo AI and NestAI, and has raised a €25 million angel round from European Midas List investors and unicorn founders including co-founders of Skype, MySQL, Hugging Face, and Wolt. On October 23, 2026, LeadDesk, QuTwo and AMD said they are collaborating to build optimized AI models for European languages, starting with Nordic languages, using AMD's compute and QuTwo's quantum-inspired compression, according to The future of trading.

## F-Secure's Partner Deployments

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), F-Secure launched Deepfake Protection in its Scam Protection Suite in June 2026 through a strategic partnership with IdentifAI, adding multi-modal image, video and voice detection to the Embedded portfolio. In May 2026 it expanded its NTT DOCOMO partnership to launch two new scam-protection plans reaching DOCOMO's 92 million mobile subscribers in Japan. In April 2026 it signed and launched a Verizon Digital Secure partner agreement extension, which triggered a positive profit warning and raised its full-year revenue outlook. The same records show more than 30 million people worldwide use F-Secure, over 200 global brands trust it, and it has executed over 500 service launches with partner organizations.

## Earlier F-Secure Moves This Year

F-Secure launched a Scam Encyclopedia covering over 50 consumer fraud types on October 15, 2026, explaining each from the victim's perspective, according to news.cision.com. On October 8, 2026, CUJO AI and F-Secure announced a strategic partnership to help Tier-1 CSPs deliver consumer security across home networks and mobile devices, PR Newswire said. Telia Norway launched Telia Trygg Familie with F-Secure protection and insurance from Tryg Forsikring for up to eight people on September 17, 2026, Telecompaper said; after a three-month free trial the service costs NOK 249 per month.
