Global cyber security company Bitdefender has unveiled a new security suite that will help European and Australian consumers further protect their data from cyber attacks. 

Bitdefender’s Premium Security Plus provides industry-leading threat prevention and detection with a fully featured password manager to keep credentials safe, a secure virtual private network (VPN) for online privacy, and 24/7 digital identity protection monitoring. 

The new suite also introduces the industry’s first Identity Protection Score service, allowing consumers to analyse their data breach history. This helps users determine how much of their sensitive data is available online, what their personal risk level is, and what corrective steps are needed to better protect their identity.

“As more daily activities are conducted online – from personal banking and finance, to shopping, telehealth and paying taxes – cybercriminals are increasing efforts to steal or hold valuable data for ransom,” Bitdefender Senior Vice President of Operations, Consumer Solutions Group Ciprian Istrate said. 

“The frequency of data breaches is driving consumer demand for real-time updates on how safe their identity and personal information is online. Bitdefender Premium Security Plus delivers complete peace of mind through advanced cybersecurity protection that prevents threats such as malware and phishing, while actively protecting the integrity of personal data from theft and misuse.” 

The new cyber security suite incorporates unbeatable antimalware detection and provides a real-time Identity Protection Score that monitors consumers’ digital footprint. 

Other key features of the suite include a feature-rich password manager that generates and securely stores strong passwords, a secure VPN with unlimited traffic and a system that continuously monitors the internet to protect sensitive information.
