Heimdal Thor Enterprise and Emsisoft AntiVirus – AntiMalware deliver the ONE- TWO PUNCH KNOCK OUT PUNCH COMBO

The ProActive: 

Heimdal Security – Since 2011, has been leading the fight against cybercrime, developing new technologies and providing intelligence to protect over 5,000 companies and 600,000 users against cybercriminal attacks and data security breaches.

With security Products for Home and Business , Heimdal security takes a Proactive approach to securing your data. With the complete pack THOR Premium your endpoints are SAFE! unlike traditional Antivirus products Heimdall’s complete package with Thor Premium sits basically at the network card level and is constantly scanning incoming and outgoing traffic, Your DNS is pointed to the Heimdal Security centers robust network, and traffic is scanned at the network level. By scanning through the network connection Thor can stop, block and cease an attack before it reaches your machine, since it is done in route through a highly secure DNS server. The complete Business package allows for updating 3rd party applications and Windows security patches automatically closing loophole and breaches due to unsecure or unpatched software. Automatically scheduled scans of your files and constant scanning of incoming and outgoing data and where they are connecting ( endpoints). Is your online application really connecting to say your bank or has it been hijacked and pointed to a dark web or malicious hackers page masking itself as the real deal only to steal your data?

Detects threats at the DNS, HTTP, HTTPS layers, before they reach your device, and prevents data leakage and compromise. With a unique, proactive approach to security, DarkLayer Guard^™blocks all incoming and outgoing communications to malicious servers, preventing APTs and other threats.

While antivirus is a reactive solution that scans code to stop threats, our VectorN Detection^™ will autonomously detect and prevent infections.

Through VectorN Detection^™, hidden malware in your system will be immediately detected and blocked before it can compromise your data.

Through X-Ploit Resilience, available updates are automatically and silently updated. This way, you eliminate vulnerabilities before they’re exploited AND infect your PC with malware. Windows Security Pacthes and updates are applied on a scheduled basis along side many 3rd party applications, Updates to these application is patched automatcially when a new patch or update is available it will automatically be installed with the least amount of user intervention.

The Reactive:

Forget viruses – Today’s threats come in new shapes and are called Malware

Emsisoft’s high performance dual-engine scanner

Emsisoft not only detects more because it uses the full power of two major antivirus- and anti-malware technologies, it also scans quicker because of the efficient combination of the scanners.
Any unnecessary duplicates in detection are avoided, enabling the least impact on memory and overall hardware resources.

The engine Emsisoft has built complements the second Bitdefender engine, and they are combined seamlessly to maximize efficiency.

One of the ways they detect unwanted programs is through signature-based detection. What this means is that we search programs for their unique signatures, which are like fingerprints, and scan your computer for these threats. At Emsisoft, most of there lab time is spent creating detection signatures for PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) and on custom malware removal code for specific infections. We ran some numbers a while ago and discovered that more than 74% of the total detected PUPs are detected by our in-house built scan engine component.

So how does information translate to your own practical use?

Simple: all detections with an (A) postfix are from our own engine and those with (B) are from Bitdefender.

In a nutshell: We believe two engines are better than one, and we use our own technology to detect threats to your computer that might otherwise be missed. But we won’t compromise efficiency in this process — Emsisoft works to keep your memory clean and uncluttered, and to detect threats at optimal speed.

For the last 4 months I personally have been running Heimdal Thor Enterprise alongside the trusted Emsisoft antivirus, and feel this is the ULTIMATE SECURITY / Antivirus-Antimalware combination available by having an Reactive and Proactive software suite I feel confident my data is secure, and any internet sites I visit or use are not sneaking in backdoor threats or phishing, or worse parading themselves as the real site only to be fake and stealing any data they can get ahold of. Last thing I want to do is come home and have to clean up my own systems or laptops which is why I run both Heimdal and Emsisoft on every machine I use for the business and computer in our home. I won’t sell something I personally don’t use, and I won’t sell something which doesn’t work!

An antivirus solution standalone is not enough to fully protect your data

If you are currently using an antivirus solution to keep your data safe and secure, know that it can’t provide 100% protection. Online threats have evolved greatly and malicious actors became real “artists” in using creative ways to spread malware.

Antivirus is only a single layer of security that you need, but can’t keep up with the increasing number of malware attacks. It does a better job at covering threats like worms, viruses, trojans, while advanced malware strains (ransomware, phishing or social engineering threats) manage to evade AV detection.

Last year, massive spam campaigns like WannaCry or NonPetya could fly below the radar of antivirus software and go undetected during the first hours or days. The timing was crucial for both home users and organizations and we’ve seen the damages caused.

Here’s an example of a spam campaign we monitored and analyzed to see how long it takes AV engines to detect advanced malware. During this malicious campaign, cyber criminals tried to bait victims into clicking on a malicious link to deliver the NanoCore malware on their devices.

The results from VirusTotal showed that in the first day only 5 AV engines out of 64 could detect this malicious campaign. A few days later, 37 out of 64 engines could find it. This indicates a low detection rate for antivirus during the first stages of an attack.

Nowadays, cyber attacks are brand new and unlisted in antivirus databases, which are designed to sneak past your AV product and compromise your computer. People rely on antivirus as their only protective layer, but it’s just not enough. Antivirus is often ineffective in blocking ransomware attacks.

You can see other examples of spam campaigns explaining why AV detection for new malware remains low.

Why extra layers of security are needed

A multi-layer approach is needed to better fight ransomware infections that can spread quickly and harvest users’ data. This happens because the malware scanning is rather reactive than proactive. The newer a malware strain is, the harder will be for AV to detect it.

The purpose of a multi-layered security system is to stop cyber attacks on different levels, so they never reach the core of the system and essential information.

Malicious actors can find ways to manipulate the data that flows through your Internet connection to serve their malicious purposes.

We spend a large amount of time browsing the Internet, but have you thought about the danger you are exposed to? We believe that everyone should enjoy the web safely when navigating online.

To do that, you will need a tool that can help you filter the Internet traffic and eliminate all the threats out there that antivirus can’t block. A tool focused on proactive cybersecurity.

We believe that you shouldn’t wait for something bad to happen to improve your online safety and protect your digital assets.

What Heimdal PRO can do for you

If you didn’t know about our product, Heimdal PRO is built to protect its customers from attacks like ransomware traditional antivirus can’t detect.

Heimdal PRO can block different ransomware infection sources such as malicious email attachments, infected links you may receive in your email, infected web pages or malicious web apps that appear legitimate at first, but aimed at spreading ransomware.

Here’s how Heimdal PRO works and how it can stop a ransomware infection in 4 different stages:

Heimdal PRO is an antimalware solution that includes three layers of protection against ransomware.

1. Traffic scanning and filtering

With its DarLayer Guard feature, Heimdal PRO proactively scan for all your incoming and outcoming Internet traffic to identify all types of malicious connections.  It does that by changing the DNS (Domain Name System) for IPv4 and IPv6 to a different address and block a malicious web address.

When the engine is enabled, Heimdal PRO will apply a filter on the network adapter that will scan for infected sites and other web locations (servers, online ads, etc) with the potential to install a ransomware on your devices.

In the image below, on the right side, you can see how many web traffic scans Heimdal has performed on your system in the last 7 days and how many web addresses were blocked.

You should know that all the filtering process takes place quickly and will not affect your Internet connection speed.

2. Detection and blocking of advanced malware (VectorN Detection)

The Malware engine analyzes potentially malicious code to detect and block ransomware attacks. It compares the signatures of the files on your PC with our constantly updated database to find any matches.

With the malware scanning feature, Heimdal PRO works proactively to detect and block second generation malware like ransomware that tries to compromise users’ endpoints and encrypt their files. All websites you are accessing are scanned and verified in our internal database.

You can choose to turn it off, but we don’t recommend doing it, because it will decrease your protection level.

VectorN Detection feature works hand in hand with the DarkLayer Guard feature and tries to search and detect for patterns in the number of blocks that DuarLayer Guard records. It uses Machine Learning Detection (MLD) to perform an in-depth analysis of all incoming and outgoing HTTPS, HTTPS, and DNS traffic.

You can see in the image below how many malware scans Heimdal PRO has completed on a system in the last 7 days, as well as how many malware strains Heimdal has cleaned from your PC in the same frame time.

3. Automatic and silent patching feature was created to silently keep your software programs and applications, including operating system, up to date and patched, without annoying you with notifications.

In Heimdal PRO, the patching system is split into two sections:

• software patching (designed to monitor and update the programs installed on your computer and details about them) 
• recommended software (here you’ll find programs Heimdal recommends to install that will automatically be inserted into the software patching list).

To better handle ransomware attacks, you need to see the bigger picture and take all the security measures to prevent these attacks.

Use this anti-ransomware protection plan and better secure your endpoints against ransomware.

What you should know is that Heimdal PRO is compatible with any antivirus product available on the market that will block threats at their root. An anti-malware solution isn’t meant to replace your AV product, but complement it, so users can benefit from multiple layers of protection to better fight against ransomware.

With both software products installed on a PC, more security gaps are closed and you can enhance online safety.
