How to Protect Your Data in 2022

Did you know that cybercrime has become more profitable than the global trade of all major illegal drugs combined? With annual damages of around $6.5 trillion (according to the Annual Cybercrime Report), cybercrime represents the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history while presenting one of the largest challenges mankind has faced in modern history.

These damages arise in a wide number of ways, including data loss and destruction, stolen funds, intellectual property theft, fraud, and reputational harm. Not only does this threaten businesses, but it puts everyday people at risk too.

So, how can you defend yourself against such attacks? Well, along with staying educated on current threats and remaining vigilant when online, it’s critical to arm yourself with effective and robust antivirus software, such as ReasonLabs’ RAV Antivirus. After all, as attacks become more sophisticated and hackers look for ways to outmaneuver cybersecurity defenses, it’s important that you can stay one step ahead so you can keep your data safe.

With a multitude of next-generation features specifically designed to keep malicious attacks at bay, RAV Antivirus provides comprehensive and effective security for your system and all of its devices, regardless of the threats that come your way.

Ransomware defense

Ransomware is one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity threats in the world. For those of you unaware, ransomware is a type of malicious software that seizes control of your device and blocks access. The hacker will then demand that a ransom (sum of money) is paid for you to regain control of your system. Unfortunately, these attacks are highly effective for hackers, so there are over 4,000 attacks in the US each day, with the average ransom demand skyrocketing to $200,000.

The good news is that RAV Antivirus provides multilayered protection against ransomware attacks by identifying and detecting ransomware-like activity on your system. It proactively catches viruses while spreading files referred to as “honeypots.” These honey pots are mechanisms built into your system that lure and trap ransomware so it can be destroyed.

So what does multi-layered mean in this instance? Well, many of the legacy antivirus products focus on a one-to-one detection technology, which means that they are only able to block, quarantine, and destroy malware/ransomware one-dimensionally.

RAV, on the other hand, brings a next-generation antivirus solution to the table that deals with malicious attacks on multiple layers simultaneously. Thus, not only will RAV block one type of malware or ransomware at a time, but it will also block all incoming threats thanks to its machine learning capabilities (more on this later).

Endpoint detection response

Endpoints are devices that are connected to your network, such as laptops, smartphones, routers, and so on. Hackers target these devices as an infiltration point so they can gain access to your network and steal your data.

However, RAV Antivirus uses an endpoint detection and response, which means that any threats or malicious attacks are highlighted and dealt with before they can do any damage. The software builds a complete picture of all the endpoint devices on your network to easily spot infected files and potential intrusions.

Secure browsing

The RAV Antivirus Elite package comes with a tool called RAV Saferweb that you can use to bolster your online security and achieve secure browsing. After all, the vast majority of malicious attacks arise when browsing the internet, so the more steps you can take to protect yourself, the better. The DNS solution has a built-in ad blocker and anti-tracker filters, so you don’t need to worry about your data being used without your permission.

Malware analysis and threat intelligence

As we mentioned previously, the world of cybercrime is always changing. There is a perpetual struggle between criminals and those who seek to resist their attacks, just as there is with any illicit activity. As a result, the methods by which hackers steal your data are always evolving.

In order to gain insights and intelligence regarding the latest threats and other hazardous agents in the cybersecurity business, ReasonLabs has an in-house research division that analyzes enormous data sets in real-time. This helps keep their users as safe as possible regardless of what developments hackers come up with.

Machine learning engine

Lastly, RAV Antivirus utilizes a powerful machine learning engine that brings its security level to an enterprise standard, making it one of the most comprehensive antivirus solutions on the market.

RAV is able to bring expert-level protection to your home network by actively detecting patterns and keeping records of attacks to identify hazardous files and catch various types of malware. The antivirus software’s machine learning capabilities allow it to sift through millions of files and identify those that are potentially harmful, something that would not be feasible without this technology.

As a result, the ReasonLabs team can be more proactive in preventing threats and responding to active attacks in real-time, ensuring that your system and personal devices are kept as secure as possible.

Is RAV Antivirus for you?

There’s no denying that there are a plethora of antivirus solutions available on the market today. While most of them are tailored to one specific aspect of cybersecurity, it’s hard to argue against the wide-ranging comprehensive protection that RAV Antivirus brings.

Secure browsing, ransomware protection, endpoint detection response, and the powerful machine learning engine make ReasonLab’s newest solution formidable against cybercrime, giving you peace of mind knowing that your data is secure.

As for the price range, RAV Antivirus has a free version that anybody can install and use on their system. This comes with the essential antivirus and antimalware features. If you want something more comprehensive, then the RAV Premium or RAV Elite offers a cutting-edge, full-featured, breach-proof protection package.
