What UK SMEs Need To Know About Proxy Use And Online Privacy After Apple's Decision?
Briefly

In February 2025, Apple announced it would discontinue the Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature in the UK, a move prompted by the government's demand for backdoor access to encrypted user data. This decision removes end-to-end encryption for iCloud services, increasing data exposure risks for UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To mitigate these risks, businesses are encouraged to adopt proxy extensions for Chrome, enhancing online privacy through data encryption, IP masking, phishing protection, and aiding in GDPR compliance.
Apple's decision to discontinue Advanced Data Protection in the UK reflects governmental pressure for backdoor access, unveiling a significant risk to end-user data security.
The absence of end-to-end encryption for iCloud means potential data exposure for UK SMEs, prompting the need for effective online privacy solutions.
Integrating proxy extensions into Chrome enhances data security for SMEs, facilitating data encryption, IP masking, and compliance with regulations, reducing vulnerabilities.
Proxy solutions can mitigate phishing and malware threats, safeguarding SMEs against cyber attacks by blocking malicious sites and protecting browsing habits.
