The most advanced anti-malware for Android Virtual 5G fully protects users on 5G global networks
Not just anti-virus protection, but also anti-malware protection
Pivotal advances in the most private services and communications
Singapore and San Jose, California, February 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Virtual Internet announces the completion of comprehensive anti-malware capabilities for Virtual Internet Services. This new anti-malware suite has been added to both Virtual 5G and Virtual Home Office.
More than just antivirus
This new feature isn’t just antivirus, it’s also antimalware. Malware, or “malicious software”, includes a wide range of malicious software such as spyware, worms, ransomware, and even viruses. Antivirus packages only protect against viruses that are older types of malware and pose the main threat to users. Threats to online users are evolving, and Virtual Internet’s new anti-malware software suite can address a wide range of existing and, importantly, new threats.
Threats to Android and iOS
Given the large number of Android devices in the world today, malware is a much bigger threat to Android devices than to iOS devices. Android is a bigger target for hackers. Android continued its position as the world’s leading mobile operating system throughout 2023, with a global market share of 75%. Android has a majority market share in 193 out of 195 countries around the world, with Android market share approaching 95% in most countries. In 2023, it will have approximately 3.6 billion Android users (72% of 5 billion connected users) spread across 190 countries. No wonder Android devices are popular targets for cybercriminals.
Mobile devices run the world: don’t let the small size fool you
The proliferation of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies during and after the pandemic has created a large new attack surface. Employees love mobile devices for easy access to corporate data systems. Attackers also like them for the same reason. A huge target is hiding on the back of your mobile device. Mobile devices are an important part of today’s modern business. His 56% of employees rely on at least 4 to 8 enterprise applications on their mobile devices. Mobile devices have a significant impact on personal and corporate security. It’s easy to see why half of organizations worldwide reported experiencing a mobile-related breach in 2023.
Malware on mobile Android devices comes in many forms, including adware, ransomware, Trojan bunkers (also known as “bunkers”), and Trojan droppers (also known as “droppers”).
Spyware-as-a-Service poses an increased threat to enterprises
Spyware is on the rise. This type of malware is available as a service on underground forums and can be purchased by unskilled attackers for just a few hundred dollars or a few hundred euros. These codebases have a very wide range of functionality, including recording calls, hijacking and controlling cameras, stealing photos, emails, and even contacts. Spyware poses a serious threat to businesses because it can steal sensitive data, leak private conversations, obtain confidential contacts, and expose it all. The attacker monitors her communications between the two parties without anyone noticing. Cybercriminals can then use the collected information to impersonate one of the victims and contact the company with a fake email. Adware and hidden apps are the main types of Android malware that target devices. Malicious hidden apps often hide on your device by changing their icons. These apps may start displaying unwanted ads or perform other actions in the background.
Attacks against Android devices increased by 500% in 2023 alone. Malware and phishing are two special mobile threats.
- 18% of phishing emails clicked in 2022 came from mobile devices. (Verizon Mobile Security Index 2022)
- 46% of organizations that suffered a mobile-related security breach in 2022 said app threats were a contributing factor. (Verizon Mobile Security Index 2022)
- 9% of organizations suffered a mobile malware attack in 2022. (Check Point 2023 Cyber Security Report)
- 45% of schools reported at least one cybersecurity incident started on a Chromebook or other mobile device in the last year (Malwarebytes Research)
Virtual 5G with anti-malware capabilities — the world’s only fully secure global 5G network
Service providers simply provide connectivity.
Virtual 5G is the world’s only global 5G network and the only 5G network with complete privacy and security. Because wherever sensitive data resides, threat actors are looking to steal it. This is another reason why Virtual 5G is the best 5G network in the world.
Virtual 5G: The world’s best 5G
Virtual 5G’s anti-malware suite is the industry’s best product for Android, with features such as:
- Users will not notice any impact on the battery since the impact on the battery is almost zero.
- It’s very fast, scanning small files (1MB) in less than 20ms and large files (40MB) in 1000ms.
- Good memory efficiency.
- Periodic, selectable scans of your system, internal storage, external storage, and installed apps.
- Real-time scanning can scan multiple files asynchronously and detect malware on writes and internal storage in real-time.
- Work offline, completely private to your device. Internet access is only used to download the signature database and the files never leave your device.
- It is hard-coded with persistence so it automatically restarts on startup/update and malware cannot prevent it from starting and running protectively.
- A microcodebase has no room for malicious code injection, has minimal dependencies, and can be audited by anyone with basic programming knowledge.
- Signature database that can be enabled/disabled upon user request.
- Add malware definitions from the global database.
Virtual 5G extended directly from the virtual internet
Virtual 5G with anti-malware capabilities is also available in an enhanced suite delivered directly from the virtual internet. The anti-malware upgrade includes an option that allows third-party apps to invoke a scan of Android itself by telling Virtual 5G to scan the entire system. It also includes automatic database updates, automatic database generation, and more with complete database sanity checks. For security reasons, the signature database is not publicly available.
Virtual 5G is more than just an app, it’s a global platform
Virtual 5G took this step because Virtual 5G is recognized as the premier platform for 5G Global Enhanced Mobile Broadband. Any network, any communication method, any app, at home, at work, in your car, while traveling.
Virtual 5G is now also recognized as the most private and most secure 5G globally enhanced mobile broadband network available, and is becoming increasingly important for secure messaging, secure calling, and sensitive medical and financial applications. It has become.
Virtual 5G is the only 5G service that is natively designed to communicate over the 5G global broadband network, which is itself multi-encrypted. Virtual Internet’s Global Virtual 5G mobile broadband network is not only completely secure by design, but also invisible while delivering critical 5G services for high-bandwidth, real-time messaging communications.
Virtual 5G: A must-have
Personal healthcare, finance, and communications are just some of the services that users need to protect from online hackers and unwanted third parties. User needs virtual 5G for his Android.
