Polaris Office Launches ‘Polaris SecuOne,’ a Generative AI-Based Phishing and Smishing Detection App

Polaris Office announced on the 5th the launch of a mobile phishing and smishing detection application based on generative artificial intelligence (AI) called ‘Polaris SecuOne’. This app is available for free download on the Android Google Play Store.

The company stated, “Due to recent issues such as 'malicious apps' and 'pharming,' the amount of damage caused by voice phishing from January to July this year reached 390.9 billion KRW, an increase of about 150 billion KRW compared to the same period last year,” adding, “This service aims to improve the vulnerable smartphone security environment and enhance user convenience.”

Polaris SecuOne is a new solution that adds internet address (URL) detection services to Polaris Office’s existing mobile antivirus service, VGuard. By combining generative AI technology with phishing and smishing URL detection technology, it provides smartphone users with a powerful and secure service. Instead of simple diagnosis through existing URL database (DB) searches, the AI analyzes, judges, and evaluates URLs in real time to deliver results to users.

In particular, users can check the site through screenshots without directly accessing the URL. Additionally, QR code extraction and analysis are possible to detect ‘Qusing,’ a phishing attack based on QR codes.

A Polaris Office representative said, “As generative AI advances, new and mutated sites that were difficult to detect with existing technology are emerging, expanding the related market.”

They added, “This product is not only available for individual users but can also be used by companies and public institutions providing mobile services,” and “We will strive to strengthen our security solutions in the future and enhance synergy by linking them with our existing document solution products.”
