As digital fraud and mobile malware incidents continue to rise across India, TraceX Labs, a cybersecurity company, has announced the launch of TraceX Guard, an AI-powered mobile security app for Android users.
Developed under the Make in India initiative, TraceX Guard combines artificial intelligence with real-time behavioral analysis to detect, block, and eliminate mobile threats before they can cause harm. The app offers comprehensive protection against malicious APKs, spyware, and phishing campaigns spreading across WhatsApp, Telegram, and other social platforms.
What sets TraceX Guard apart, however, is its Rs10 lakh security insurance coverage, a first-of-its-kind assurance program in India’s mobile security market.
World’s First Antivirus with Rs 10 Lakh Assurance
In a move that underscores TraceX Labs’ commitment to user trust and accountability, the company announced that every verified user of TraceX Guard will be eligible for insurance coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh in the event of financial losses caused by malware or cyber fraud while the app is active.
The policy is governed by the company’s terms and conditions and excludes cases involving human error or negligence, such as sharing passwords or manually disabling the app. Eligible claims, however, are fully covered up to Rs 10 lakh, marking a significant milestone in consumer protection within the cybersecurity industry.
“TraceX Guard isn’t just about detecting threats; it’s about giving users real confidence in their digital safety,” said a spokesperson for TraceX Labs. “In India, no other mobile security solution currently supports its protection with this level of financial assurance. We wanted to go beyond traditional software features and offer users a dependable safety net they can truly rely on, ensuring peace of mind in an increasingly risky mobile environment.”
AI That Adapts, Protects, and Learns
Powered by advanced machine learning algorithms, TraceX Guard continuously monitors app behavior, permissions, and network activity to predict, detect, and prevent attacks in real time. Unlike traditional antivirus solutions that rely solely on static virus definitions, TraceX Guard leverages AI-driven pattern recognition and adaptive learning to identify emerging threats as they evolve. By understanding the subtle changes in app behavior and network traffic, it provides proactive protection, ensuring users stay one step ahead of cybercriminals.
