One of the leading freemium VPN providers, Atlas VPN, completed an independent security audit of its Windows application between July and November this year. The security assessment was conducted by global cybersecurity experts from MDSec.
MDSec’s cybersecurity specialists tested the 2.4.4 version of the Atlas VPN Windows app, looking for issues that could leave it susceptible to compromise. The thorough research did not detect any high or critical category threats within the app. The app’s developers have since implemented all the recommendations provided by the auditor, as confirmed in a retest by MDSec.
“We’re very pleased with the audit’s results. No high or critical level threats were found during the assessment, and recommendations we received helped us further strengthen the security and privacy of our Windows application,” says the PR Manager of Atlas VPN, Ruta Cizinauskaite. “We see independent assessments of our service not only as an important part of helping us deliver the security and privacy our users expect but also as a way to build trust with our users. Third-party audits help verify the accuracy of our claims regarding our product and therefore assist our users in making an informed decision.“
Windows application audit by MDsec is the second independent assessment of Atlas VPN, as in 2021, Atlas VPN’s iOS app received a positive review in a security audit by VerSprite. The company expects to complete even more independent tests of Atlas VPN service in the future.
