Millions of people conduct their business on iPhones and other similar devices. That’s why it’s only fitting to protect such devices from criminals who want to steal your information. The makers of Mobile Active Defense (M.A.D.) say their app is the solution. It’s the world’s first Apple-approved iPhone security application that helps protect users from identity theft.
“A significant amount of identity theft comes from users who are not security-aware and who click on links in emails much too quickly,” states Christopher Breceda, Exec. V.P. of Strategic Business Development at M.A.D. Partners. ”Thus, about 3% of smartphones are already infected with some type of hostile software.”
More than 70 trillion pieces of spam fill inboxes every year, and millions of unsuspecting users are tricked into giving away their personal credentials and details.
M.A.D. Partners Chairman Winn Schwartau says, “If the casual user doesn’t see the spam and doesn’t receive the phishing attacks, he can’t respond. This is social engineering 101, and we wanted to help put a stop to it. M.A.D. protects as many email accounts as the user wants to protect.”
Mobile Active Defense is a Zero Footprint Security app for the iPhone/iPad. A smartphone has limited resources, so traditional approaches to anti-spam and anti-virus security just don’t work. ”With Mobile Active Defense,” says Breceda, “all of the malware, viruses and other criminal tools used to steal identities are eliminated before they ever get to the iPhone. The user, finally, receives only clean, pure and filtered email.”
