NordVPN, one of the best VPNs today achieved a certification stating that its Threat Protection Pro platform can protect against most common phishing attempts, making it the first VPN with an anti-phishing certification.
The AV-comparatives Anti-Phishing certification test puts products to the test by testing them in real-world conditions to high reliability standards.
NordVPN Threat Protection Pro faced a combination of phishing links and clean URLs, with the product having to recognize 85% of phishing links without accidentally marking a real link as bad.
A medal for cyber hygiene
Manually avoiding phishing links is a difficult task in itself; just one wrong click can be fatal to your credentials and sensitive information. That’s why Nord wants to help you keep your credentials safe across all of its products, like those of its password manager.
Threat Protection Pro does more than just protect against phishing. It also offers everything from malware detection, removal of web tracking from your browserand blocks those ever intrusive online advertisements.
Nord also released a new free file checking tool this week for scanning dodgy files from the Internet, and earlier this year it released a link checking tool to keep you safe online.
