If You Like Ceelox You'll Love SecureCom Mobile

Congratulations to anyone who owned Ceelox Inc. (OTCMKTS:CELO) before yesterday's close. CELO shares are up a solid 1400% today, and though the stock jumped on no news, the volume behind the move suggests somebody knows something about what's in store.  It's proof that penny stocks can and do dish out fat gains in short periods of time.

On the other hand, penny stocks like Ceelox that don't have any tangible context for such a move all too often unwind those moves with little to no warning. If your position in CELO has you nervous for this reason, it may be time to take a look at a related name called SecureCom Mobile Inc. (OTCMKTS:SCQBF). which has a lot more bullish context and a much more convincing future.

Ceelox is a developer of biometric security and encryption software. Its security and encryption tools are easy to deploy, simple to use, cost-effective and affordable for organizations of all sizes.

The need for greater cybersecurity measures is clear. Hacking, even of smartphones, is rampant now, and the more connected we become the more doors we open to cybercrime. Without any history or product menu, however, it's not clear why an investor would want a stake in CELO. SecureCom Mobile, however, does have a crystal clear reason an investor would want to get on board, and a much more tangible reason to like it right now.

The statistics are staggering. In a recent report from cybersecurity outfit Kaspersky it was observed that mobile banking topped the 2015 list of most popular ways to diitally steal money. In that light, another statistic isn't so surprising - the IT industry's biggest security gaps are perceived as mobile devices, followed by social media access. This even aligns with another scary number: In 2014, the world saw a 75% year-over-year increase in U.S. mobile malware infections.

And for the record, it's not as if the problem is unique to one mobile operating system. Fireye reported it's seen a 188% increase in the number of Android vulnerabilities now compared to 2011's total, while it's seen a 262% increase in the number of iOS vulnerabilities for the same period.

Those statistics also mean opportunity, however. All told the cybersecurity market will be worth $170 billion by 2020. One of the hottest areas of growth is mobile security, of course, which is expanding at a pace of 18% per year.

As for what this has to do with SecureCom Mobile, the answer is, a lot.

While it's still relatively unknown )even among fans and followers of penny stocks) SCQBF is positioning itself to make a big splash with the right product at the right time.

Simply put, SecureCom has devised a way to scramble a digital message like a text, phone call, or even an attached document so that it's only unscrambled when it arrives at the intended recipient's device. Yes, it takes some technical doing, but SecureCom can even encrypt a two-way conversation between two parties using the highest level of encryption possible, and using completely transparent open-source software.

The 'even better' part: While the encryption of conversations and text messages keeps those communications private, where the SCQBF platform truly stands out is that the decryption keys used for each communication session are destroyed after the session ends. Each new conversation or text uses a new encryption key, making the platform even more secure.

In short, it's probably the most potent and useful mobile security/encryption app yet, filling in the biggest security gap your smartphone may have without you even knowing it.

The 'really good' part: These encryption tools are available as a download for Apple, Google, and even BlackBerry smartphones and tablets.

The business plan from here is to simply begin marketing the apps, which have quietly been available for a while now... $2.31 for the voice-encryption app, and only $0.99 for the message-encryption app. Though on the market for a while, the company has been refining things and upgrading its tools. With both proverbially ready for prime-time, however, SCQBF may well be the market's next big thing.

None of this is to take away from Ceelox or any other penny stocks in the cybersecurity space. It is to point out, however, just how big of a deal SCQBF could become in light of the fact that completely unknown and unproven name like Ceelox can spur is stock 1400% higher in just one day, on no news.
