Some of the features that make Ivacy so popular include:

Servers

A VPN removes geographic restrictions on the internet by masking user IP addresses. This is done by rerouting data traffic to secure servers located around the world. Ivacy has more than 1,000 servers in 100+ locations across 55 countries. All these servers handle information in a secure and subtle manner, limiting the role of local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as well as other entities in monitoring or regulating data traffic without checks. The spread of servers in most countries across the globe opens diverse possibilities for users to access the internet freely.

Encryption

A secure server is the first line of defense against online spying and cybercrime. The more robust and effective second line however is known as encryption. Ivacy offers AES 256-bit encryption for all the data traffic of its users making it almost impossible for any element to break through and steal or decode the information being sent over the airwaves. Users can use the internet assured that they are protected by a military-grade protection shield.

Malware protection

Malwares include a wide variety of viruses like adware, spyware, ransomware, Trojans, bugs, bots among numerous others. Without a VPN, these viruses are hard or impossible to detect. Using advanced technologies, Ivacy can spot potential malware intrusion attempts, alerting the user to impending threats. This allows for secure browsing and safeguards against potentially damaging threats from cybercriminals.

Unlimited internet freedom for streaming and downloading

Under ISPs, user internet connections are restricted both in terms of bandwidth as well as with the freedom for accessing foreign content. With Ivacy, all these problems are eliminated. Users can connect to their choice of server anywhere in the world and then enjoy buffer-free, unlimited bandwidth streaming which enhances the overall experience. All major platforms like Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, HBO Go, Hulu and various others are all accessible through Ivacy quite easily.

Tailor-made products for individuals, businesses, and gamers

Different industries and disciplines have different requirements when it comes to internet usage. Businesses can have several employees who need separate protection for everyone. Similarly, gamers require heavy data transfer abilities, constant speeds, and protection against threats like DDoS attacks. Ivacy provides custom programs for each segment so that they can enjoy the best experience while executing daily tasks in a smooth, as well as secure environment.

Dedicated applications

Ivacy has dedicated applications for all leading operating systems. iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, Mac, Windows, Linux, PS4, PS3, Xbox, Raspberry Pi along with several smart TV and internet router models are also supported by the service.

“Be Internet Awesome” initiative helps minors explore the internet confidently and securely. The initiative teaches kids and minor students skills for surfing the internet, how to recognize potential online scams, secure valuable information, how to identify and refrain from cyberbullying. Google stated that it partnered with the South African Film and Publications Board (FPB) to implement the program locally.

Commenting on the initiative, Abongile Mashele, acting Chief Executive Officer at FPB, said, “The FPB has a responsibility to protect children from exposure to harmful content, thus the organization needs to play a leading role in creating awareness around the dangers of the internet, as much as it is incumbent on us to also encourage the use of the digital space as an empowering tool.”

Fortune Mgwili-Sibanda, Head of Public Policy and Government Relations at Google Africa, said, “Google is committed to a safe internet for children. We are also passionate about the empowerment of organizations that share this commitment. The fund will be administered by a third-party partner on behalf of Google.org, and we will be sharing details on application criteria and deadlines soon.”

Mgwili-Sibanda also highlighted that “Children are being exposed to the internet at their most vulnerable age so it’s important for us, at Google, to ensure that they do so as safely as possible. At the same time, teachers and parents can use these resources in order to support and guide children as they navigate the Web.”

Cybercrimes in Africa

A research report from the information security firm Dataprotect revealed that the estimated cost of cybercrimes in Africa is €3.5 billion (approximately US$3.87 billion), compared to €528 billion (US$585 billion) worldwide. However, Africa still falls short in handling cybersecurity challenges. The analysis highlighted that the lack of skilled and qualified workforce and lesser investments in cybersecurity made West African banks vulnerable to cyberattacks including bank card fraud, phishing, and intrusions, etc.
