NordVPN just scored a major win in the cybersecurity arena. Its Threat Protection Pro feature has become the first VPN-based tool to snag an anti-phishing certification, proving it can outmaneuver most common phishing attempts.
The certification comes from AV-comparatives, a respected name in security testing. They put Threat Protection Pro through its paces in real-world scenarios, challenging it to spot phishing links without falsely flagging legitimate URLs. The bar was high: 85% accuracy was needed to pass.
For everyday users, this means fewer headaches. Manually avoiding phishing links is like playing a never-ending game of digital whack-a-mole. One wrong click, and your sensitive info is toast. NordVPN’s goal is to take that pressure off, extending protection across its product line, including its password manager.
But Threat Protection Pro isn’t a one-trick pony. It’s got a whole toolkit for your online safety:
- Malware detection to catch nasty software
- Web tracking removal to keep your browsing habits private
- Ad-blocking to cut down on intrusive popups
NordVPN is on a roll with new features. This week, they launched a free file-checking tool to scan sketchy downloads. It follows a link-checking tool released earlier this year, both aiming to boost your online safety.
With these updates, NordVPN is pushing to be more than just a privacy tool. It’s positioning itself as an all-in-one digital bodyguard for the average internet user.
