Key functionalities

Sandbox

IPs, files, URLs, domains, and Office documents are filtered in a secure environment known as sandbox. Choose between a local or a cloud-based sandbox, whichever suits best your compliance requirements (i.e. GDPR and LGPD).

URL filtering

Smart Defender uses different techniques to filter URLs, IPs and domains, such as reputation analysis through global blacklists; behavioral analysis to allow for time-of-click protection; and Fuzzy Hashing to search for threats.

Behavioral Analysis

Smart Crawler emulates users by clicking on all buttons and URLs and mapping them in real-time. It's an OnClick analysis to verify the webpage's behavior, as well as downloaded or uploaded files. All done in a few seconds.

Adult content blocking

Smart Defender blocks adult, pornographic content by matching the image to a global database and using AI (machine learning, math models, neural networks and deep learning) to check context and data.

Image analysis

To block inappropriate images, we analyze data such as image size (coverage) in relation to total size; skin color and body curvature; image in relation to its background; and other image elements, such as body parts, naked persons etc.

Artificial Intelligence

Our AI/machine learning-based system analyzes a wide data range, identifying patterns for URLs, emails, files and dynamic reputation of IPs and domains. It learns and reacts in real time, adapting to advanced threats.

Partners

In addition to a proprietary antivirus engine, Smart Defender also has two supplementary engines: ESET Nod and NetSensor (HackNet). It’s a triple protection, with each tool doing its part to keep you safe.
