Splashtop Shield for 5 Devices, which will be available starting August 27th. This innovative security service integrates AI fraud detection with remote support to create a user-friendly solution for family protection against online scams and cyber threats.
The Growing Need for Digital Vigilance
As Japan continues to experience a rise in its aging population, with over 36 million individuals aged 65 and older as of October 2024, securing the digital lives of family members who may not be tech-savvy is becoming increasingly vital. In fact, statistics from the National Police Agency indicate that phishing reports skyrocketed to over 2.4 million in fiscal 2024, marking a staggering 43% rise from the previous year. This highlights the urgent need for effective digital monitoring for families spread across distances.
