    New Yorkers will have another security app to consider installing on their devices this summer -- a city-sponsored one. The office of Mayor de Blasio has announced that it's releasing its own free smartphone protection app to residents as part of NYC Secure, the city's first cybersecurity initiative. "New Yorkers manage so much of their lives online, from paying bills to applying for jobs to engaging with government," the mayor said in a statement. "NYC Secure will ensure that we're applying the best and most effective protection efforts to help New Yorkers defend themselves online."
