On a typical day, WebPulse blocks 3.3 million Web-based threats. Without the protection of a Web security solution, mobile users face greater exposure to malware that could steal personal information or co-opt their phone into a botnet.Īs with Blue Coat’s K9 Web Protection software for PC and Mac computers and the K9 Web Protection Browser for iOS, the K9 Web Protection Browser for Android is backed by the company’s WebPulse™ collaborative defense, which provides users with proactive, “negative day” protection that blocks malware attacks before they launch. According to the Blue Coat 2012 Web Security Report, for example, social networking is the second most popular activity on mobile devices and the fourth most popular entry point into malnets (malware networks), infrastructures embedded in the Internet that cybercriminals use to drive unsuspecting users to malware.

The adoption of mobile devices has skyrocketed over the last two years, giving users the ability to access the Internet from anywhere.
