Digimune & AnyTech365 launch AntiScam Mobile service

Digimune and AnyTech365 have partnered to launch AntiScam Mobile, a mobile security platform that internet service providers, telecommunications companies, banks and insurers can offer under their own brands.

The platform combines AnyTech365's threat detection technology with Digimune's distribution network, allowing organisations to deploy a mobile protection service without developing their own security product. It is designed to address growing levels of mobile fraud, including phishing, voice scams, SIM-swap attacks and identity theft.

Fraud growth

The companies said mobile fraud is increasing faster than traditional PC-based attacks as consumers rely more heavily on smartphones for banking, communications and digital services.

According to figures released alongside the launch, 82% of consumers received a suspicious or fraudulent text message during the past year. The companies also cited estimates that more than USD $1 trillion is lost globally each year to mobile-driven digital fraud.

The platform is aimed at organisations that already have large consumer customer bases and want to expand their digital security offerings. The companies said financial institutions, telecommunications providers and insurers increasingly face customer support costs, customer churn and reputational pressure resulting from scams that affect their customers.

Platform features

AntiScam Mobile combines behavioural analysis with real-time monitoring to detect suspicious activity on mobile devices. Rather than relying solely on known malware signatures, the platform analyses how applications and interactions behave to identify potentially malicious activity.

The service includes continuous protection across mobile activity, together with safe browsing capabilities that identify malicious websites, unsafe Wi-Fi networks and fraudulent QR codes before users interact with them.

Identity monitoring is also included, providing alerts when credentials or personal information appear in dark web sources. Device protection features include lost-device assistance, SIM-change alerts and remote wipe capabilities.

Users can also access certified AnyTech365 support technicians for assistance during suspected scams or security incidents.

Distribution model

The partnership follows a business-to-business-to-consumer model.

AnyTech365 supplies the underlying security technology, while Digimune works with telecommunications, financial services and insurance organisations that distribute the service to their existing customers through co-branded or white-label deployments.

The companies said this approach allows partners to introduce a subscription-based security offering without creating or maintaining an in-house cybersecurity platform.

The platform also provides branding flexibility, allowing organisations to present the service under their own identity while using the underlying protection capabilities developed by AnyTech365.

Freemium approach

AntiScam Mobile is available through a freemium model.

Consumers receive access to core real-time protection without charge. Additional features, including dark web monitoring, identity theft alerts and anti-theft capabilities, are available through an Ultimate subscription priced at under AUD $30 per year.

The application is currently available through Google Play. An Apple App Store version is planned. Consumers can download the application directly or receive access through participating telecommunications providers, internet service providers, banks and insurance companies.
