NordVPN has teamed up with CrowdStrike to bring its world, class threat intelligence to NordVPN’s Threat Protection Pro feature, thus greatly increasing the ability of the service to protect millions of users worldwide from new cyber threats. This merger, powered by CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations, which keeps an eye on more than 265 highly advanced adversary groups including nation, state actors, hacktivists, and eCrime syndicates, brings enterprise, grade adversary insights, which governments and large organizations have traditionally trusted, into a consumer, focused, privacy, first experience. The partnership gives users more insights into adversaries’ ways and new threats, which makes the protection against malicious websites, phishing attacks, malware, and invasive trackers that are increasingly targeting both businesses and consumers stronger. As per the announcement, the advantages for NordVPN subscribers include enterprise, grade threat intelligence, context, rich protection with detailed threat indicators and metadata to quickly identify and block threats, and continuous real, time updates that keep defenses current as new risks appear in users’ environments.
