Heimdal Threat Prevention Home not a "Traditional" Antivirus Solution
Heimdal Threat Prevention Home is the cyber threat security suite with 3 key layers of protection, especially engineered to protect you from financial and data stealing malware. Heimdal Threat Prevention Home is a proactive security solution that filters cyber threats before they reach your system, but also during and after cyber attacks. It does not work like a traditional antivirus, but rather complements it. Heimdal Threat Prevention Home is focused on proactive Internet security, while antivirus is focused on reactive security. Heimdal Threat Prevention Home protects the user's online banking by checking the user's Internet traffic and blocks sending data such as passwords or credit card details to a malicious server or website that may be controlled by cybercriminals.
Heimdal Threat Prevention Home is a proactive cyber threat security suite with 3 key layers of protection: (1) DarkLayer Guard, (2) VectorN Detection, and (3) X-Ploit Resilience.
1. DarkLayer Guard
Darklayer GUARD™ is a two-way traffic scanning engine that allows Heimdal Threat Prevention Home to block network communications when it detects zero-day exploits, ransomware, data leakage, and next-generation attacks. DarkLayer Guard protects the user from attacks before they are compromised. Blocks all incoming and outgoing communications to malicious servers, preventing APTs and other threats. Detects threats at the DNS, HTTP, HTTPS layers, before they reach your device, and prevents data leakage and compromise.
DNS Security - DarkLayer GUARD™ by Heimdal Security
When this engine is enabled, Heimdal Threat Prevention will apply a filter on the network adapter that will scan for infected websites and other web locations (servers, online ads, etc) that can potentially install malware or be used as gateways for cyber-attacks.
2. VectorN Detection
The VectorN Detection engine is a feature that searches for patterns within the blocks of Heimdal™'s DarkLayer Guard records.
- It works across-the-board on any Windows™ device;
- It does not rely on scanning the code or auditing any system processes. Instead, the new technology uses Machine Learning Detection (MLD) to perform an in-depth analysis of all incoming and outgoing HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS traffic;
- It matches Machine Learning (MLD) insights with Indicators of compromise/attack (IOC/IOA) and network forensics, turning Heimdal™ Threat Prevention - Endpoint into a unique, proactive cybersecurity suite;
- It helps users discover even hidden, second-generation malware that tries to infect the endpoint or attempts to harvest data from the compromised system;
- By tracking device-to-infrastructure communication, this technology enables users to detect and block advanced malware, regardless of the attack vector.
DarkLayer Guard™ & VectorN Detection™
3. X-Ploit Resilience
Heimdal Threat Prevention Home's X-ploit Resilience is responsible for keeping your third-party applications up to date, patched with the latest updates available. X-ploit Resilience displays all third-party applications that are installed and monitored. The interface shows the version installed of all third-party applications, its "status" and two (2) different check markings, (a) one for choosing whether the user wants to monitor that particular software, and (b) one for turning the "autoupdate" feature (on/off). It monitors and updates your installed apps anda database automatically. Keeping your software updated closes almost 85% of security holes used in cyber attacks.

As a result, Heimdal product names have changed as follows:
