Grameenphone has launched a new service called ‘GPShield’ in the beta version in the country to digitally protect smartphones from cyber attacks. The company claims that the service will protect a smartphone user from malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks in addition to the Domain Name System or DNS layer. The service will provide cyber protection to mobile users only through subscription without installing any app.
GP says that 81 percent of people connected online are concerned about their security, while 3.4 billion people are victims of phishing attacks. GP says that GPShield has already blocked 319 thousand malware.
Asif Naimur Rashid, Chief Business Officer, Grameenphone said, “We have launched the beta of GPShield. It is now accessible to 1 million customers from the MyGP app. Its commercial launch will be next month. All customers will be able to avail GPShield from next month. GPShield is DNS layer security. The advantage for customers is that they do not have to install any app on their phones. They can use it by subscribing to the MyGP app in one step. If the user clicks on any malicious link while GPShield is activated, GPShield will automatically block the site. In this way, GPShield will protect the online life of the customer.
He said, considering the customers in Bangladesh, the monthly subscription fee of GPShield can be 40-50 taka. He also said that Cisco’s global technology is working behind GPShield.
Bangladesh experienced a 105% increase in cyber incidents from the second to third quarter of 2024, making it one of the countries with the fastest growth in cyber attacks. Japan and France are in second and third place with (108%) and (130%) percent attacks, respectively.
