entered emerging content filtering market with ad blocking app Vivio
It’s no longer possible to escape from ads by switching
gears during commercial breaks on TV or radio, for, in the digital age, ads are
everywhere. More channels and improved connectivity mean that neither page nor
platform is free from unwanted marketing. Moreover, ads are becoming
progressively particular. Every modern consumer must face the peril of pursuit
by promotions tailored to his or her last search. Driven by algorithms that
analyze our online histories, the advent of digital advertising has raised the
level of intrusiveness to such unbearable levels that a recent survey found
that two-thirds of respondents “are fed up with online advertising” and are
prepared to “walk away from brands that deliver it.”
Cyberfort Software, Inc. (OTC: CYBF) has tools to help them
do exactly that. With content filtering and ad-blocking, the tech outfit is
developing solutions to strengthen the cyber security of companies and
consumers. Cyberfort is working to ensure a digital future in which all users,
individuals and corporations alike, enjoy free access to data and are able to
share private information without fear of malware attack or annoying ads
robbing them of privacy and security. The company has begun its mission by
acquiring Vivio, a provider of content filtering tools. It is now in talks to
do the same with Just Content, an ad-blocker.
That antagonism to ads is growing is obvious from a global
study conducted by Qualtrics for Rakuten Marketing (http://ibn.fm/plHfj). Per the
report, “…two-thirds (of those surveyed) see online advertising in the same
light as fake news and other aggravating content… Many consumers feel
disenfranchised, Rakuten says. And more than 8 out of 10 say that advertising
interrupts their online experience.” As a result, consumers are looking for
ways to escape from unwanted marketing by using ad-blocking technology,
germinating a market that is expanding at a rapid pace. In 2017, the
penetration rate of ad-blocking technology in the U.S. was just 27 percent.
This is an emerging market that has a long way to go before reaching maturity.
Such a fertile environment presents opportunity for
Cyberfort. The company’s portfolio includes Vivio, an ad blocking app that
removes ads and reduces data traffic on iOS devices to help preserve battery
life. Cyberfort recently updated Vivio to include a new operating code that
enables a faster, smoother web experience. The update also makes Vivio more
responsive to continually changing malware and commercial invasions of privacy.
Users can create whitelists of sites that will be allowed to serve ads, as well
as choose from new lists developed by Cyberfort. The Vivio Update builds on the
app’s existing efficiency, which saves roughly 38 percent of data traffic and
reduces resource load by 58 percent, making the overall browsing experience 30
percent faster. Currently, the iOS 10 Vivio serves over 10,000 unique users.
Cyberfort has plans for an enterprise version in the works.
The Vivio cloud-based enterprise suite will incorporate ad-blocking updates,
monitoring and analytic tools and data on browsing usage and consumption, in
addition to an application programming interface (API) that can integrate third
party companies. Vivio will also bolster defenses against malicious digital
activities, such as spam, ransomware, breach of data and data theft.
Cyberfort has announced its intention to acquire Just
Content Software, a multi-functional ad blocking app that’s currently available
on iTunes (http://ibn.fm/J76Y3).
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 using its proprietary “Home Safe Filter” and “Business Filter”
products.
