NETGEAR, Inc. NTGR introduced the next generation of NETGEAR Armor solution, powered by Bitdefender to further bolster cybersecurity for consumers. NETGEAR Armor is available on Orbi mesh systems and Nighthawk routers. This is capable of safeguarding IoT and mobile devices on both home networks and “on the go.”
In a rapidly evolving threat landscape, cybersecurity has become a top-notch priority for every household. With the increasing number of smart devices, IoT gadgets and mobile phones connected to home networks, safeguarding these devices to thwart cyber-attacks is crucial. NTGR highlighted that consumers are often managing their security with numerous and expensive subscriptions across separate platforms.
NETGEAR Armor comes in handy here. This is a subscription-based unified cybersecurity service, which is available on most NETGEAR Wi-Fi systems and routers. Armor leverages artificial intelligence technology to automatically scan connected devices (including IoT gadgets) for weaknesses and threats while executing extensive monitoring for potential security breaches and offering recommendations to boost security posture.
NTGR also underscored that consumers will get all the latest updates on vulnerability scans, thwarted attacks and suggested actions through the Orbi and Nighthawk app interfaces.

Key Features of NETGEAR Armor
NETGEAR Armor also safeguards your mobile devices like mobile phones, tablets and PCs. With the Armor mobile app, users can extend protection up to 50 of these devices across Android, Mac, Windows and iOS platforms.
