financial markets in 2019

offers extensive suite of cyber security solutions, including ad blocking
and content filtering
The castles and citadels of medieval times may still stand,
but their barbicans, drawbridges and high walls can no longer provide effective
defense against external threat. For today, more often than not, attack by foe
and felon is on the cyber front. Hacking and other threats have grown to such
an extent (http://ibn.fm/Hbyjh)
that “the biggest risk to markets going into the new year is the threat of a
cybersecurity attack, according to a new survey of risk managers and nonrisk
professionals by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp., which provides
clearing and settlement services to the financial markets.” Fortunately,
Cyberfort Software, Inc. (OTC: CYBF) is offering the digital equivalent of
those antiquated fortresses. CYBF is out to acquire and develop technologies
that improve content filtering, ad blocking and cyber-security (http://ibn.fm/nLkjs).
As the virtual universe expands, cyber security risks are
multiplying. Our increased reliance on digital networks and devices, while
providing many benefits, exposes us to attack on a wider range of fronts. Cyber
threats now include the “weaponization” of artificial intelligence (AI),
cyber-physical attacks that could disrupt electricity supply or similarly
essential services and interference with voting systems, as in the 2016
Presidential elections. They may take the form of 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.
Cyber-attacks can be extensive, as the data breach at credit
reporting agency Equifax, affecting 143 million Americans, has proven. Cyber
threats can also be potentially life threatening. In 2017, the “WannaCry”
ransomware attack affected 300,000 computers, including those belonging to
Britain’s National Health Service. As a result, the cyber security market that
provides a bulwark to such threats is expected to reach $200 billion by 2021.
Solutions from CYBF include content filtering, defenses
against hacking and tools to block tracking by cookies, web beacons, pixel tags
and other intrusive software. In addition, since the 2016 acquisition of Vivio,
a pioneering ad-blocking app for iPhone, iPad and Mac is now available (http://ibn.fm/q75t9).
Presently, over 10,000 unique users employ the iOS 10
version of Vivio. The app makes web browsing better, faster and more satisfying
by blocking ads and tracking software and by filtering content. It also saves
data traffic by up to 38 percent, reduces load by 58 percent and enables 30
percent faster browsing, all of which help 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.
CYBF has an enterprise version in the pipeline. The Vivio
enterprise suite is expected to 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.
