GET ADVANCED CYBERSECURITY FOR YOUR HOME NETWORK WITH NETGEAR ARMOR™ ON ORBI WHOLE HOME MESH WIFI

Powered by Bitdefender, NETGEAR Armor™ protects personal privacy in today’s world of sophisticated hacking attacks

SAN JOSE, California — April 30, 2019NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of networking devices that power today’s smart home and small businesses, has announced the worldwide availability of NETGEAR Armor™ Cyber Threat Protection, powered by Bitdefender, on Orbi WiFi Mesh Systems.

NETGEAR Armor™ on your Orbi Mesh WiFi Systems is a cybersecurity solution that protects all internet-connected devices in your home from viruses, malware, stolen passwords, identity theft and hacking, whether you’re at home or on the go.

Many people already have some type of anti-virus software loaded onto their home computers. However, this is often not effective enough for the cyber threats in today’s environment. In fact, according to research, 146 billion records of personal information, such as credit card information or national identification / social security numbers, are expected to be stolen by cybercriminals between 2018 to 2023.

Unlike other anti-malware solutions that offer protection only for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices, NETGEAR Armor™ provides a network-wide security, which means that all devices connected to your Orbi WiFi network will benefit from this protection including smart home and IoT (internet of things) devices.

Continuous scans will identify and block malware such as viruses, spyware, ransomware, and the malicious links that are the delivery system to infect your network, before they even reach you. Immediate notifications on your smartphone (via the Orbi app) or on your computer will alert you when threats are detected and blocked.

Because NETGEAR Armor™ covers all of your internet connected devices, it is an effective way to protect against cyber threats for less secure but prolific smart home devices like security cameras, smart lights, smart thermostats, door locks, etc.

NETGEAR Armor™ also includes Bitdefender Total Security, which lets you install a complete anti-malware protection on your Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices. Now you and your family can stay protected even while you are away from home or on public Wi-Fi networks.

NETGEAR Armor™ is powered by the award-winning cybersecurity firm Bitdefender®, which detects, anticipates and neutralizes the newest cyber dangers anywhere in the world on the spot thanks to the largest cloud security delivery infrastructure on the globe.

“Bitdefender is the cybersecurity company that has kept pace with fast-evolving online threats, using innovations that address one of the most stringent issues we’re facing now, protection for smart home devices and IoT,” said Ciprian Istrate, vice president of consumer solutions for Bitdefender. “With NETGEAR, this new partnership continues our mission of safeguarding people’s online lives using technology that has taken an important step forward, making our advanced cybersecurity solution available to more families, and consolidating our position as leaders of this market segment.”
