It achieves this by filtering traffic at the levels of the DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS on both your endpoints and your network. Designed to enrich any existing antivirus, Heimdal Threat Prevention goes beyond standard signature-based detection. Its machine learning-powered capabilities allow it to spot both known and unknown malware strains for complete protection against cyberattacks. With as much as 97% of malware being polymorphic these days, this is particularly important in a successful digital security strategy. Through proprietary DarkLayer GUARD and VectorN Detection technologies, Heimdal Threat Prevention allows you to gain code-autonomous protection against multiple attack vectors. This includes data leaks, network malware, and even ransomware. DarkLayer GUARD adds advanced endpoint and network traffic filtering capabilities paired with a unique Threat to Process Correlation (TTPC) feature that allows you to identify threats, regardless of whether they are a user or a process. VectorN Detection with the AI component that adds machine learning-driven intelligence to the pre-existing attack vector database. To give you all-around protection, Heimdal Threat Prevention is available in both Endpoint and Network modules. These can be installed either separately depending on what layer of protection you need, or as a package deal. On the one hand, Heimdal Threat Prevention Endpoint is an advanced DNS filtering tool that can detect and stop DNS hijacking, exploits, and other related cyberattacks. It also allows your sysadmins to block web content depending on certain categories, such as Adult, Social Media, and more. In this way, company-owned devices will remain secure even when employees are working remotely and connect to unsecured Wi-Fi networks. Heimdal Threat Prevention Network on the other hand is built to protect your organization’s online perimeter. By using artificial intelligence and logging traffic, the module can spot hidden threats without the need to install any solutions on company endpoints. This comes in handy when employees are bringing their own and potentially compromised devices into the office. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 26 users.

Short time from implementing to full use as all settings are predefined - you can of course change those. > > **Cons**: It cost money :-) Heimdal separate functions in new modules. Everybody needs to make money but some functions could be under existing modules. > > Very useful. Big help as users will click on links or try to enter suspicious websites ----- ### "They just get it right\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *12 April 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's not just the feature rich software its that fact that this company stand right behind their product with nothing short of excellent support. They know it's important to get to clients promptly and they know they need to have actionable knowledge. They excel at both. > > **Cons**: the web ui is a little cluttered and not easy to navigate. I'm learning to live with it's foibles and the Pros outway the cons. > > Great Co, Great Product and excellent customer service - Heimdal Security stand proud for showing the industry how it should be done\! ----- ### "Heimdal - Does the job" — 4.0/5 > **Warren** | *6 December 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best feature is its complete ease of use. To the untrained, it may look like it doesn't have many features. But that's because it is all managed from behind, and you don't need to touch it on the endpoint. > > **Cons**: We do have the occasional oddity where a program stops working or a port is blocked, and this can be Heimdal being too over protective. > > The install was incredibly straight forward, and we've barely had to touch it since. We use it for ourselves and recommend it to all of our customers. ----- ### "AntiVirus and More" — 5.0/5 > **Isabelle** | *20 January 2022* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software does not take many resources, updates automatically, endpoints can be put in Groups for certain policies, the inventory tool is useful, and installation is quick. > > **Cons**: It is based in another country, and customer support is on different hours. ----- ### "Peace of mind" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *23 June 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is founded on a deep understanding of the threat landscape and uses all the tools to mitigate that threat. > > **Cons**: Can throw up some Java errors on Mac and the interface is a little clunky although a new one is on the way. > > Support is second to none - very responsive and helpful. Peace of mind is absolute and the admin overview and ability to remediate remotely is fantastic.
