## What is Guard?

Acting both as a traditional antivirus app & an online security assistant, Guard empowers you to take control of your online security with ease. Featuring automatic device scans, web protection blocking malicious endpoints and on-demand tools for cyber hygiene and Wi-Fi security, Guard helps you stay protected from viruses, vulnerabilities, privacy risks, and other security threats. Stay one step ahead with advanced protection designed for everyone, no technical expertise required.

All features are included in a 7 day free trial - followed by a yearly subscription to keep access.

Threat Scan:

Guard's Threat Scan is an automatic scanner which looks for issues such as:

iOS Version - Scans for known vulnerabilities in your iOS version.

Device Lock - Confirms your device has a solid authentication method.

Web Shield:

Web Shield is your extra layer of protection while browsing on Safari. It works as a secure local content filter in the background, blocking access to known malicious websites, servers, and IP addresses before they can reach your device. All this without insight on your online activity.

Link Scanner:

An on-demand tool to investigate suspicious links. The link is checked against databases of known malicious endpoints and scanned for common threats. 

Your Cyber Hygiene Hub:

Cyber hygiene made simple. Each week, you’ll receive easy-to-follow security tips and tasks designed to improve your online habits and reduce common risks. Track your progress, build consistency, and take control of your personal security without feeling overwhelmed. Small actions, real protection.

ATTRIBUTIONS:

The advanced security scanning capabilities of Guard are made possible through the significant contributions of leading security researchers, governmental organizations, and academic institutions. APIs utilized include those provided by MalwareBazaar, URLhaus and NVD. No official cooperation has been established between Guard - Digital Security and the mentioned APIs.
