ViaProtect Helps Protect iPhones From Suspicious Events Or Behavior
February 25, 2014
ViaProtect is a new app launching in the App Store. The free app helps protect your iPhone from suspicious events or behavior.
By gathering mobile forensic, system, network, security, and sensor data from devices, viaProtect is able to alert users of possible problems. Unlike traditional mobile security apps, which screen for viruses and malware, viaProtect monitors all apps for mobile risk.
For example, the app can detect if an app handles your personal data insecurely by transmitting it unencrypted or to servers located overseas.
ViaProtect was unveiled today, Feb. 25, at the RSA Conference 2014 in San Francisco, Calif. It comes from ViaForensics, whose mobile security technology is currently protecting 300 million app downloads worldwide.
