With this strategic acquisition, Malwarebytes intends to develop more advanced VPN technologies and features.
Malwarebytes has acquired AzireVPN, a privacy-focused VPN provider headquartered in Sweden, as a significant step in the security company's commitment to user privacy and cybersecurity excellence.
With this strategic acquisition, Malwarebytes intends to leverage AzireVPN's robust infrastructure and intellectual property to develop more advanced VPN technologies and features.
This step is part of the company's mission to reimagine consumer cybersecurity, providing seamless protection for devices and data regardless of location or usage.
AzireVPN is renowned for its high-security standards and privacy-first approach, with two standout features. AzireVPN owns and controls its infrastructure of dedicated and diskless servers, ensuring unparalleled security -- an initiative that Malwarebytes will continue to uphold.
The VPN also offers a unique privacy measure in the form of a blind operator feature, which prevents both remote and local access to servers, effectively safeguarding against unauthorized modifications and traffic interception.
Malwarebytes Privacy VPN customers will experience no changes, and the company states their streamlined, no-log service remains intact, ensuring your data stays private and secure.
Meanwhile, AzireVPN customers will continue to enjoy the same high-quality, privacy-focused service without logs or data collection, and no information is required to sign up.
This acquisition underscores Malwarebytes' commitment to privacy and fostering a secure, open internet. More details about the enhanced VPN offerings will be provided in the months ahead.
Currently, AzireVPN's encryption uses the most advanced options available - the WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols. It guarantees a strict no-logs policy with a solid and transparent privacy policy.
Meanwhile, the Audiovisual Anti-Piracy Alliance published a document announcing intentions to extend site blockades even more, as VPNs, web browsers, search engines, and others are in the crosshairs of the new anti-piracy injunctions that could be added to the 2019 Copyright Directive and the Digital Services Act.
