How Sapher works
Sapher works tirelessly to ensure your online safety.
Our 24-hour detection system searches for suspicious activity and analyses unusual online behaviour, providing real-time alerts and empowering you to respond in real-time.
Making the internet Sapher for everyone
Traditional security measures are struggling to keep pace.
They can prevent known cyberthreats effectively, but with over 450,000 new ones emerging daily1, we need more than antivirus and a VPN to combat today’s sophisticated cyber threats.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has largely facilitated this staggering volume of threats which cybercriminals use to create harder to detect scams and exploit vulnerabilities at speed and scale.
Our solution provides a single, central endpoint security management platform, complementing traditional tools to provide comprehensive protection against these advanced AI-driven threats.
Whether you’re fiercely tech-minded or a casual internet user, Sapher provides a simple way to more adequately protect your digital presence. Once you see Sapher in action, you’ll wonder how you lived without it!
Sapher’s comprehensive protection features
Being proactive is necessary to defend against the growing AI-driven threats that are evading traditional defences.
Sapher’s features combine to grant users dynamic and intelligent protection against the relentless tide of cyber risk we encounter through websites, emails, attachments and links.

Technical breakdown of Sapher’s inner workings
Data logic
We use what’s called business rules to monitor and examine vast amounts of data from various sources continuously. Business rules are carefully crafted guidelines that automatically analyse incoming data based on expert knowledge and industry best practices. They allow us to quickly spot patterns and anomalies that could indicate a cyber threat, without relying on machine learning artificial intelligence.
We gather information from many sources, including:
-
Monitoring your internet traffic for unusual patterns and suspicious activity
-
How you use your device and noticing behaviour that deviates from the norm
-
Multiple cybersecurity databases
-
Your activity history
-
Lists of known threats by cross-referencing blacklists and threat databases.
-
Monitoring social media feeds for trends, emerging threats and scams.
-
Identifying threats, patterns and anomalies indicative of malicious activity found on the Dark Web.
Definitive determination of webpages
We evaluate websites you visit to ensure they are safe and trustworthy using objective, quantifiable data and recognising common tactics scammers use to determine an unbiased and factual assessment.
Here’s what we analyse:
-
The website’s address (URL) structure
-
Suspicious information like inconsistencies, typos, misspelling, repetition and certain keywords in page titles and meta descriptions
-
How page elements behave, e.g auto refreshing, running data access scripts, pop ups, loading speed and where links lead to
-
Verify the authenticity and validity of a site’s security certificates
-
Comparing sites to known safe or dangerous websites from our databases.
No VPN required
VPN is the acronym for a Virtual Private Network, a secure, encrypted connection service for internet use. It allows users to send and receive data anonymously via a private network.
While Sapher doesn’t interfere with a VPN if you use one, with the Sapher browser extension installed, you don’t need one. This creates a few benefits:
-
Users' internet speed will improve without the need to reroute traffic through VPN servers
-
VPNs log user data. Sapher does not require access to users' local files or browsing histories. We focus on real-time analysis of web interactions and objective data and nothing more.
Why choose Sapher?
Sapher was born from personal experience with online fraud, motivating our founders to create a team and develop a solution that makes professional-grade cybersecurity available to everyday users.
Protecting our personal information online has become increasingly complex. However, effective online protection shouldn’t be a luxury item or require technical expertise. Sapher responds to this challenge in our refreshingly simple yet highly effective solution that other cybersecurity companies can’t offer in one product.
We’re driven by a vision that goes beyond software. Our goal is to reshape the internet, making individual cybercrime a rarity rather than a norm. We reject the idea that falling victim to online threats is an unavoidable part of internet use. We’re acutely aware of the human cost behind cybercrime statistics – the financial hardships, emotional distress, and disrupted lives. We’re working to decrease the number of people who suffer each year because of data breaches and identity theft by providing advanced and accessible protection.
