The Intelligent Shadow Backup mechanism is triggered during any eventualities, this helps users to protect their crucial data and overcome the aftershock of ransomware attacks.
Windows Essential Updates
eScan checks for missing security patches on the system OS by matching the installed patches with the released patch list in the database. After comparing both the patches, it installs the missing Windows critical security patches. This helps to keep the system to stay away from the latest threats and maintain the security of the home network.
Two-Way Firewall
eScan Two-way Firewall filters all the incoming and outgoing network requests, which enables you to monitor every inbound and outbound connection that is being established. This locks out hackers from connecting to the system and defends the connection of undesired apps to the internet.
Quicker On-Demand Scan
eScan's advanced On-Demand Scanner has built-in Whitelisting and Cache technology that make scanning of files, memory, folder, and all other storage devices, more efficient and quick. Being lightweight, it minimizes the consumption of CPU and memory resources during the scanning process.
Advanced Anti-Phishing
eScan uses a phishing detection technique that detects phishing links, emails, and attachment-based on malicious behavior and blocks automatically every time when they try to reach the email boxes.
Other Highlights:
- Terminal Service Protection Module (TSPM): A security feature designed to protect terminal servers, particularly from brute-force attacks on Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). It works by detecting suspicious login attempts, identifying potentially malicious IP addresses, and blocking them to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, TSPM can also detect and prevent attempts to uninstall security software, alerting administrators to these actions.
- USB Vaccination: Generally refers to using software to disable the Autorun feature on USB drives to prevent malware from automatically executing when the drive is inserted into a computer. This practice helps protect against the spread of malware that can exploit the Autorun functionality to infect systems.
- Virtual Keyboard: A software-based interface that allows users to input text or commands on a device without the need for a physical keyboard. It typically appears as an image of a keyboard on a touchscreen or display, and users interact with it by tapping or clicking on the virtual keys.
