Protectstar Inc. was founded in 2004 by German security expert Chris Bohn in Bradenton, Florida — at a time when digital privacy was not yet a mainstream concern. Today, Protectstar’s award-winning apps protect more than 8 million people in over 100 countries: iShredder™, Anti Spy, Antivirus AI, Camera Guard, and Firewall AI. They are available for Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, independently certified by DEKRA and AV-TEST, and honored with the Fortress Cybersecurity Award, the AI Excellence Award, and the BIG Innovation Award. Apple credits founder Chris Bohn by name in an official security update for a reported kernel vulnerability in OS X (CVE-2013-1029).
Protectstar’s guiding principle remains: world-class protection for 1 cent per day, so security does not depend on your budget. The company is built on a simple conviction: privacy is not a luxury — it is a fundamental right.

Apple würdigt Gründer Chris Bohn namentlich in einem offiziellen Security Update für eine gemeldete Kernel-Sicherheitslücke in OS X (CVE-2013-1029).
