BullGuard Mobile Security

Android-based devices are increasingly being targeted by hackers. Cyber criminals follow the money and in a world that is going increasingly mobile they are naturally diverting their attention to mobile devices to steal personal information, financial details and perpetrate other scams. The situation today is similar to the advent of desktop computing for the masses when people scoffed at the idea of a virus infecting their computer. Today, we know different; malware is produced at an astonishing rate and serious financial and identity theft is carried out every day. The mobile landscape is no different and malware aimed specifically at mobile devices is multiplying with every passing week.

In short, it is industry leading. BullGuard Mobile Protection uses a cloud-based Antivirus engine. There is no need to download virus definition updates on your device since they are stored on a server. As soon as malware is identified and signatures created, they become instantly available via our cloud technology. You get instant protection without needing to wait the latest signatures. This technology greatly minimizes the time it takes to scan your entire device at virtually no battery life cost.

It can because the act of updating virus profiles can be an intensive process which places heavy demands on the phone’s processor. However, BullGuard Mobile Protection doesn’t do this. Because it uses a virus engine in the cloud, there is significantly less demand on the processor ensuring your device’s battery is not overworked and therefore not drained.

BullGuard Mobile Protection has a number of features specifically designed to safeguard your data if your device is lost or stolen. For instance, say you have lost your phone you can go to any computer and access the BullGuard Mobile Protection Web dashboard by simply logging in. From there you have a number of options such as remotely wiping all data on the phone or you can remotely lock it. Furthermore should you choose to wipe your data remotely you can also back it up on BullGuard servers before you do so, ensuring it isn’t lost and it’s ready for transfer to another device of your choosing. There is also a built-in location tracker that enables you to identify, from the Web dashboard, precisely where your phone is. And should someone try to remove the SIM card the device automatically locks or the data is wiped depending on which option you prefer

It provides a raft of tools that help you discretely monitor your child’s activities. You can monitor messages, pictures, calls and applications remotely. As such you can stay on top of what your child is doing on their device ensuring they remain safe.

One of the guiding principles in the development of BullGuard Mobile Security was to ensure it would be easy to use. The design layout is intuitive and if you’re familiar with mobile apps you’ll find it extremely easy to navigate and to manage the settings. Similarly the Web dashboard is also simple to use. That said BullGuard Mobile Security does require Device Administrator rights to work on an Android device, but this is simply a technical requirement and doesn’t impact on the ease-of-use.
