SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - February 18, 2016) - Trustlook, a leading global mobile security provider, today announced a partnership with mobile app company Tongbu Networks.

AirDroid is one of the top apps in the Tools category. The app enables users to access and manage their Android phone or tablet from a computer or on the Web, wirelessly and for free. It lets users transfer files, sideload apps, and even send text messages without picking up their phone.
"This is a momentous deal for Trustlook," said Allan Zhang, founder and CEO of Trustlook. "Our partnership with AirDroid, the undisputed leader in their category, is a huge step in our commitment to serving the Enterprise."

The numbers are expected to grow significantly in 2016.
