NordVPN is well known for its essential virtual private networking (VPN) software -- but it's core goal is to make the internet a better and safer place for everyone.
With that in mind, the company developed NordLayer VPN for the more exacting requirements of businesses, adding business solutions tried and tested in house to defend users at work and on the go.
Now, NordVPN has made its VPN application even more useful, evolving its CyberSec adware defence feature into more fully fledged Threat Protection.
As the name suggests, Threat Protection has been integrated with NordVPN to expand its ability to protect PC and Mac users from cybersecurity threats such as tracker software, malicious advertising, theft of personal data, malware downloads from the web and more.
"From now on, NordVPN is more than just a VPN. We’re introducing Threat Protection to offer you even more comprehensive security against cyber threats," explains NordVPN's Elle Friberg in this post. "Block trackers, intrusive and malicious ads, steer away from harmful websites and files. Enjoy cleaner, safer, and more private internet."
Not even best-practice cybersecurity techniques can completely prevent cyberattack -- but NordVPN with Threat Protection can help fend off malicious links and stop users clicking on sites that might infect the endpoint or network with malware or ransomware.
Avoidance of ransomware such as Cryptolocker means not only implementing and regularly updating all cybersecurity software but actively steering users away from suspect attachments, executables, links, banners, sites or messages -- the primary vectors for malware dissemination.
"We’ve amplified the protection against malicious websites and ads and raised the bar by adding tracker blocking and file malware protection," explains Friberg. "Threat Protection aims to go hand in hand with VPN security, as they complement each other perfectly."
Valuable or sensitive information and data should of course still be backed up frequently and kept secure at all times.
