Earlier in the month, CelcomDigi launched the MobileSHIELD security app. This is essentially a subscription-based internet security software, but for your phone. Now, the telco has announced something similar to complement it. It’s called WebSHIELD, and as the name suggests, is focused on protecting your web browsing experience.
CelcomDigi says that WebSHIELD is “powered by Cisco’s global threat intelligence”. It is made to automatically block phishing attempts, fake websites, and malicious downloads. Though since it’s a telco that’s running the service, it’s perhaps no surprise that it only works with its own mobile network locally. On that note, it’s available to virtually every postpaid and prepaid plan by the telco.
Unlike MobileSHIELD though, you don’t need a separate app for this to work. Instead, all you need is to subscribe to it from either the Celcom Life or MyDigi apps. Once you do, CelcomDigi says it runs silently in the background without the need for additional setup.
On the subject of subscription, CelcomDigi says that the WebSHIELD mobile security suite is available from RM3 a month. Until 20 November 2025 though, the telco is offering a promo rate of RM1 a month. You can find out more by hitting this link to its official page, or this link to its FAQ page. The latter includes a link to eligible plans by the telco which, as mentioned above, is virtually every plan it currently has to offer.
