- CYBF planning portfolio of Cyber Protection IP
- The company acquired AI-based Content Filtering Provider “Vivio”
- Cyberfort Software in talks to Acquire “Just Content” Ad-Blocker
Attempting to rid the world of cyber threats may seem as Sisyphean a task as trying to eliminate the left by constantly turning to the right, but Cyberfort Software, Inc. (OTC: CYBF) is one company chasing that Holy Grail. The tech outfit is on a mission to strengthen the cyber security of businesses and digital end-users by focusing on innovative practices such as Content Filtering and Ad-Blocking. Cyberfort envisages a digital future where everyone, from individuals to global corporations, can enjoy free access to data and share private information without fear of malicious attacks robbing them of privacy and security. The company has already begun its quest by acquiring Vivio, a provider of AI-based content filtering tools. It is now in talks to acquire Just Content, a multi-platform ad-blocker. In a world where elections can be hacked, Cyberfort appears to be making all the right turns.
Cybersecurity risks are multiplying as the world becomes more interconnected. For instance, the MIT Technology Review list of “Six Cyber Threats to Really Worry About in 2018” (http://nnw.fm/Et9mP) includes huge data breaches – like the one at credit reporting agency, Equifax, which may have affected 143 million Americans. Ransomware attacks also make the list, as Britain’s National Health Service is painfully aware, as do the “weaponization” of artificial intelligence (AI), cyber-physical attacks that could disrupt electricity supply or similarly vital services, and cyber-interference with voting systems and processes. Generally cyber threats run the gamut of human cunning and encompass phishing attacks (fraudulent methods to obtain sensitive information, such as passwords or bankcard numbers), distributed denial of service (DDOS) strikes (paralyzing a server by overloading it), malvertising (hiding malware in ads,) and backdoor attacks, which involve exploiting software vulnerabilities.
All devices – desktops, laptops, mobile phones, modems, routers, tablets, wearables – are at risk and only technology from companies like Cyberfort seem able to protect us from the barbarians at the gates. Solutions from Cyberfort include defenses against hacking, content filtering, ad blocking, as well as tracking blocking tools. The company’s first suite of tools debuted with the acquisition, in 2016, of Vivio, a pioneering AI-driven ad-blocking app for iPhone, iPad and Mac (http://nnw.fm/Cv13B).
Currently, the iOS 10 Vivio serves over 10,000 unique users. It makes web browsing better, faster and more satisfying by blocking ads and tracking software and by content filtering. It also saves data traffic by up to 38 percent, reduces load by 58 percent and enables 30 percent faster browsing, all of which helps save battery life. Continuous ad blocking rule updates are delivered via an Intellectual Property Cloud-based autonomous engine with ad blocking tracker and malware detection filters.
The company also has an enterprise version in the pipeline. The Vivio enterprise suite will include a range of privacy centric, data/bandwidth optimizations and permission based controls for companies to ensure the safety of devices used by their employees. The expected enterprise suite will feature current Vivio technology, provided in the consumer version, which will then be enhanced for demanding business use. This will include:
- Ad blocking (enhanced malware detection)
- Privacy protection
- Reduction of data costs and bandwidth usage
- Faster website browsing
- Better battery performance
- Cloud-based ad blocking rule updates ·
- URL blocking with the ability to optimize preferences on a company basis
- Cloud-based management suite with analytical tools
- API access
Cyberfort recently announced its intention to acquire Just Content Software, a multi-functional ad blocking App currently available on iTunes (http://nnw.fm/0Wrb8). The App is designed to safeguard families and business, among others, from unsafe links, adult content, phishing sites and inflammatory hate speech found on the Internet with its proprietary “Home Safe Filter” and “Business Filter” products. Don’t be surprised if Cyberfort doesn’t find a way to stop elections from being hacked.
