Bitdefender is a Romanian internet security company which has been around since 2001. They are well recognized in this field and claim to have around 500 million users in the home and corporate environments. But up until about a year ago their products were software based, and then they introduced the BOX. The BOX is a hardware device that is designed to protect all devices on a user's network (including IoT devices) from malware, viruses, hackers, ransomware, phishing, etc. A new vulnerability assessment feature checks your devices to make sure you don't unknowingly have your guard down, which could allow data theft, malicious attacks, or other intrusions. The box also incorporates what they call Active Threat Control (ATC) which is designed to flag suspicious behavior.



Features:

Vulnerability assessment: With the new Vulnerability Assessment technology, BOX scans your entire home network to identify any weak spots that can compromise its security.

Private Line: Private Line is a scanned VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection that BOX sets up for your mobile device so you can safely go online anywhere.

Total Security: BOX Local Protection uses the best Bitdefender antivirus technology (TSMD) to secure all your devices. You don’t need separate security products for each of your laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. Bitdefender’s advanced multi-platform solution protects all your Windows, Mac OS and Android devices. This incredibly powerful yet easy-to-use product detects even the most advanced malware, such as 0-day attacks and advanced persistent threats.

Active Threat Control: BOX incorporates Bitdefender’s award-winning protection technologies such as Active Threat Control to block any incoming attacks. For each attempt blocked, BOX will send you an app notification to report on the nature of the threat. Bitdefender Active Threat Control has been designed to act against never-before-seen threats. It uses machine learning and behavior-based threat analysis to tag suspicious activities and keep your devices safe.

App management: BOX connects all your devices to the Bitdefender Cloud and allows you to use the BOX mobile app to see all your network’s activity and any potential threats. Set data roaming limits, remotely install Windows updates, improve system speed, locate lost devices and always stay safe.
