Kaspersky Lab, the internationally renowned developer of security products, recently released a new app for iOS: Kaspersky Safe Browser.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can get the app for free from Apple's App Store.

Security company Kaspersky Lab recently introduced a new and free app for iOS-powered mobile devices. This new app is called Kaspersky Safe Browser and what it does is it helps iOS users enjoy a secure web browsing experience. The app will block phishing websites, malicious websites, and websites that host certain type of content (adult content, violence, gambling, and more).

“Quite a few users of Apple products believe their devices are immune to cyber attacks,” commented Alexey Chikov, Product Manager at Kaspersky Lab. “This false sense of security makes it easier for cybercriminals to execute their plans. Kaspersky Safe Browser for iOS protects users from dangerous content whenever they go online.”

Kaspersky Safe Browser for iOS – Main Features
  • Proactively detects and blocks malicious websites.
  • Detects and blocks phishing websites.
  • Detects and blocks malicious links.
  • Blocks access to inappropriate content.
  • You can choose what type of content will be blocked (adult, illegal software, drugs, violence, swear words, gambling, forums, and more).
  • There are 17 pre-defined content filtering categories in total.
  • To offer an enhanced level of protection, the app receives real-time info from the cloud, from the Kaspersky Security Network.
  • Google, Bing, Yahoo! and other popular search engines are supported.
  • The app was specifically designed for iPhone and iPad.

So to sum it up, if you need a browser that protects you from phising sites, malicious sites, and inappropriate content, use the new app that Kaspersky Lab rolled out: Kaspersky Safe Browser for iOS.

As I mentioned at the start of this article, the app is free. You can go get it from Apple App Store here. Please note that the app requires iOS 4.3 or newer.
