BullGuard
announced its new 2021 suite of antimalware solutions featuring Dynamic Machine
Learning capabilities and Multi-Layered Protection. The BullGuard 2021 security
suite empowers consumers to confidently perform sensitive online transactions
in absolute safety and rest assured knowing cyber threats are stopped dead in
their tracks. BullGuard 2021 blocks malicious behaviour before it can do
damage, even when malware attempts to intentionally take a consumer’s device
offline.
BullGuard 2021 offers enhanced Multi-Layered Protection. Multi-Layered
Protection uses six layers of protection – Safe Browsing, Dynamic Machine
Learning, Sentry Protection for Zero-Day Malware, an On-Access AV Engine, a
Firewall and a Vulnerability Scanner – to defend the user’s devices from
malware, without the need for user interaction. The six layers work in tandem
to create a buffer between the internet and each device BullGuard 2021 is
installed on, catching inbound and local malware, any erroneous outbound
communication to the internet, phishing scams and more.
Crucial to BullGuard’s Multi-Layered Protection is Dynamic Machine Learning, which
continuously monitors all processes on a user’s device, enabling real-time
detection and blocking of potentially malicious behavior before it can do
damage, even if malware attempts to cut the internet connection. The advanced
machine learning system stays one step ahead of cybercriminals by continually
learning and improving based on threats that are detected across the entire
BullGuard customer base. Dynamic Machine Learning is included in all three 2021
products: BullGuard Antivirus, BullGuard Internet Security and BullGuard Premium Protection.
Streamlined to be the fastest product versions BullGuard has released to date,
BullGuard 2021 has also improved application performance while reducing system
resource usage, including significantly reduced virus definition file sizes.
Additional enhancements include:
- Identity Protection provides heightened protection for your online identity
in addition to protecting a user’s physical devices. Additional support for
international phone numbers and bank accounts ensures the most accurate
monitoring of dark web platforms where stolen user data is sold or traded.
- Game Booster now includes support for anti-cheat engines and uninterrupted
video performance while broadcasting during gameplay. Online gaming platforms
with built-in anti-cheat features are now supported, allowing users to
confidently participate for prize money and in paid competitions. Gamers who
wish to play while broadcasting on Twitch or other video gaming community
networks will benefit from added support for optimised video.
“Unlike the majority of other cybersecurity solutions, BullGuard’s Dynamic
Machine Learning protection continually monitors all processes on your device,
enabling real-time detection and blocking of potentially malicious behaviour,
even if malware attempts to cut your internet connection,” said Paul Lipman,
CEO of BullGuard. BullGuard 2021 is ideal for consumers who want
‘set-it-and-forget-it’ cybersecurity that works behind-the-scenes to provide
the best endpoint protection against today’s known and zero-day threats.”
The BullGuard 2021 product line comes as standard with next-generation
Antimalware, Game Booster and Vulnerability Scanner. BullGuard Internet
Security and BullGuard Premium Protection include a Firewall, Secure Browser
and Parental Control, and BullGuard Premium Protection also includes
comprehensive Identity Protection and a Home Network Scanner. BullGuard 2021
also automatically alerts customers if they try to access an unsecured Wi-Fi
network, enabling them to connect immediately to a secure server if they have
BullGuard VPN installed, or prompting them to install a trial of BullGuard VPN
to secure their Wi-Fi connection if not.
