SAN JOSE, CALIF. – (Feb. 12, 2014) – CloudACL announced today that it is  releasing an SDK and open API that will provide its web security platform at no cost to developers of consumer mobile applications.  Since CloudACL’s founding in late 2012, the company’s cloud-based web security service has enabled safe browsing for more than a million users through its WebFilter and Anti-Porn browser extensions, and its Android Safe Browser. 

Today, CloudACL allows any small-to-medium business (SMB) developer to access the same platform free-of-charge by releasing SDKs for Android, iOS, Java and Python, as well as an open RESTs API.  The platform classifies billions of web-pages across 20 million domains to enable application developers to immediately prevent their users from surfing or being redirected to malicious sites that host spyware, adware and malware.  

“As mobile applications have proliferated, immense numbers of small development organizations are creating applications,” said Tom Xie, CloudACL CEO.  “As security is often a side concern for those developers, we wanted to make it incredibly easy to integrate web security solutions.  By making it possible to integrate security in only 4 lines of code, nobody can say that security solutions are cost-preventive.  CloudACL wants every user to have peace of mind knowing their apps are safe and they are  protected from the many and ever-changing malicious attacks and threats on the internet.”

CloudACL’s robust and highly scalable cloud service platform runs on proprietary multi-language and data classification system, along with an extensive distributed web and applications crawler, Hadoop-based big data mining platform with machine learning-based content and apps classification algorithm, which allows CloudACL to provide effective analysis in minutes.
