Many security mechanisms have been integrated directly into the system, rendering app-based features either redundant or technically unfeasible. As a result, the demand for additional security features has significantly declined.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the IKARUS product portfolio has evolved and expanded into other areas. Therefore, we are focusing our resources on our core products and future-oriented innovations.<\/p>\n<h3>Are other products from the IKARUS product portfolio affected?<\/h3>\n<p>Only IKARUS mobile.security is affected by the end of support. <strong>All other IKARUS solutions remain available<\/strong> and continue to be actively developed and supported with great commitment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Downloads<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-ma3rvv7b-1146a147b870b11dd2af2fcb8bc818a9-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button '><a href='https:\/\/www.ikarussecurity.com\/wp-content\/downloads\/ikarus_mobile_security_free.apk'  class='avia-button av-ma3rvv7b-1146a147b870b11dd2af2fcb8bc818a9 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-medium avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"license-free IKARUS mobile.security App (free of charge, support until 31.12.2025)\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >license-free IKARUS mobile.security App (free of charge, support until 31.12.2025)<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-ma3rwha7-4ad95d1ddd1465efdc3e393f4a34b62c-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_button  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.ikarussecurity.com\/wp-content\/downloads\/Refund-form-IKARUS-mobile-security-EN.pdf'  class='avia-button av-ma3rwha7-4ad95d1ddd1465efdc3e393f4a34b62c av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-medium avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Refund form for IKARUS mobile.security activation codes\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Refund form for IKARUS mobile.security activation codes<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41506","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
