Nordlayer Integrates Malware Detection Feature From Nordvpn to Elevate Business Security

NordLayer integrates malware detection feature from NordVPN to elevate business security

Favored by millions of NordVPN users worldwide, the anti-malware feature spots emerging threats and protects the organization’s network in real-time

The most common file formats for hiding malware are .exe and .zip, according to research by NordVPN. These are also the file formats that frequently land on employees’ computers and end up posing great security risks to organizations. To address the issue, NordLayer, a provider of flexible cybersecurity tools for businesses, has just launched Download Protection, a robust security feature that automatically scans and instantly removes various types of malware-infected files from user-initiated internet downloads.

A reactive anti-malware solution with easy-to-understand single-toggle controls, is adopted from our sister company NordVPN where it has already been used and trusted by millions of users worldwide,” says Evaldas Kasnauskas, product manager at NordLayer. “By bringing this proven technology to NordLayer, we’re enhancing our customer’s defense against cyberattacks that spread and are executed through infected files as well as strengthening our Secure Web Gateway (SWG) offering.”

Benefits of NordLayer’s Download Protection:

  • It works at all times, providing uninterrupted security. Even if a user is not connected to a VPN, their downloaded files will be scanned.
  • The solution operates in real time to swiftly detect and remove an infected file before it lands on an employee’s computer and possibly infects the business network.
  • Visibility reports. The Control Panel’s Activity page shows the total number of files downloaded and scanned as well as more detailed information about malicious files.
  • It seamlessly integrates with existing security measures. Even if companies have similar antimalware solutions, it will work as an additional layer of security.
  • There are two malware detection options: basic functionality and advanced scan powered by AI.
  • The functionality is enabled by a single click of a button.
  • Available at no extra cost on all NordLayer subscription tiers.
