Proton, the renowned provider of VPN and secure email services, has introduced a new security protection program called Proton Sentinel. This program is designed to enhance security for users who are at a higher risk of cyber attacks.
Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with human analysis, Proton Sentinel aims to elevate the security offered by Proton’s privacy tools. The program provides advanced security systems and greater visibility into account changes, logins, and suspicious activities. The security analysis operates 24/7 to review any potentially suspicious actions.
Proton Sentinel is available to Proton Unlimited, Family, and Business account holders. It offers an additional layer of security and privacy for users, especially those who may be targeted by cybercriminals due to their high-profile status, such as human rights activists and journalists.
The program uses AI to detect potentially suspicious activities on user accounts. It also includes a human element, involving expert security analysts who work alongside the automated security protection system to quickly identify any signs of infiltration or account takeover attempts.
Proton emphasizes that users should be proactive in safeguarding their own security, and Proton Sentinel empowers users with more control and visibility over their accounts. The program offers self-monitoring features such as enhanced security alerts and detailed logs of login attempts, including device information and the type of protection used to prevent unauthorized access.
Proton Sentinel is available at no additional charge for users with Unlimited, Family, or Business subscriptions, which include Proton’s suite of privacy tools like Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass. Other users can upgrade to enjoy the benefits of Proton Sentinel if they believe they might be potential targets for cyber attacks.
By offering a combination of AI-driven security measures and human expertise, Proton aims to provide a comprehensive solution for individuals seeking advanced protection against evolving cyber threats.
