As we commemorate Global Encryption Day on October 21st, 2024, SECURECOM stand alongside privacy advocates, security professionals, and defenders of digital freedom around the world. We are resolute in opposing the growing threats to privacy, such as government-mandated encryption backdoors, Client-Side Scanning (CSS), and pervasive mass surveillance.
The Growing Threat: Chat Control 2.0 and Client-Side Scanning
Government efforts to weaken encryption continue to intensify. In the European Union, for instance, the Chat Control 2.0 proposal threatens the privacy of millions by requiring messaging platforms to scan encrypted messages for illicit content. Although aimed at preventing crime, this approach would require companies to compromise encryption—a technical impossibility without leaving users exposed to new security risks.
Encryption is a universal safeguard, benefiting everyone—not just those with malicious intent. Weakening this essential protection to surveil a few would be like placing surveillance cameras in every home in the hope of catching a handful of wrongdoers. The reality is that strong encryption shields personal data, defends against hackers, and upholds democratic values by securing private communication.
At SECURECOM, we stand firmly against such misguided measures. Our mission is to prevent any attempt by governments to access personal communications through a “universal key”—an encryption backdoor that could jeopardize the privacy and security of billions of people globally.

The encrypted vault offers an ultra-secure repository for storing media, documents, and files, and the encrypted camera ensures your photos and videos remain inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
Defending Against Spyware and Forensic Attacks
As the use of mobile forensic tools like Cellebrite becomes more common, taking additional security measures is crucial. SECURECOM’s Compromise Detection & Mitigation feature continuously monitors for the activation of USB Developer Mode—a vulnerability often leveraged by forensic tools to access core files. Should this mode be enabled, SECURECOM will automatically block the app from launching, preventing unauthorized access to encrypted data.
In addition, USB Developer Mode Proofing and Cable Detection/Prevention features offer another layer of protection from spyware, ensuring that external tampering attempts are detected and thwarted. Together with Stealth Mode, Brute Force Protections, and Tamper-Proof Wipe Functions, SECURECOM offers a comprehensive defense against the most sophisticated forms of mobile surveillance.
Why Encryption Backdoors Are Dangerous
Governments frequently argue that backdoors in encrypted communications are essential for combating crime, but such measures only endanger the privacy and security of everyone. A backdoor, once created, is vulnerable to exploitation not just by governments, but by hackers and other malicious actors as well.
SECURECOM rejects any attempt to weaken encryption.
For individuals working in sensitive areas, including journalists, whistleblowers, and activists, encryption is not optional—it’s a necessity. Without it, secure communication becomes impossible, leaving them exposed to retaliation, imprisonment, or worse. SECURECOM enables users to maintain secure communications while interacting with less secure apps, knowing their critical data is protected.
For those operating in particularly hostile regions, SECURECOM’s secure SIMs and dedicated phone solutions provide an additional layer of defense against cellular network-based threats, including SS7 attacks. Dedicated devices are available for users who require even greater protection.
