Internet Privacy Company Proton Can Spot Attacks on Democracy Before They Hit the Headlines
An internet privacy company has the ability to identify attacks on democracy in a country before they make their way to the headlines. Chief executive of Proton, the Switzerland-based company, recently told AFP how their team can spot these attacks. The method is simple: they watch for an increase in demand for their services.
"We're constantly monitoring the demand for our services around the world," the chief executive said. "By analyzing the data of VPN usage, we can often detect a surge before it's too late. We can spot an attack on a country's democracy before the headlines start to report on it."
The chief executive went on to explain that, in some cases, the demand for their services will start to increase well before any article appears in the news. In those cases, their data can help warn the population of an impending attack, allowing them to act accordingly.
Proton's services are mainly used to protect users from cyberattacks and data theft. However, the ability to detect an attack on democracy in a country gives their services an added layer of protection.
The company also has plans to expand its services to other countries in the near future.
