Editor's Note: In August, we are covering several technical topics as part of our editorial emphasis. We will be examining various aspects of data security during this month, including cyber protection and backup technologies.
Since many cyberattacks occur while you are surfing the web and visiting legitimate websites (that may be unknowingly contaminated), if you want to fully protect your data, you should consider adding Guardio protection to your browser.
Guardio acts like an online bodyguard sitting in your browser—one that protects your browsing environment. It uses next-gen cloud-based technologies to detect and block cyberattacks before they get a chance to reach your data.

Guardio is an extension for Chrome, Edge and Chromium-based browsers on Windows, Mac, Linux or Chromebook computers. It protects you against malware, malicious scripts, browser extensions and data breaches so you can freely and safely browse every site, page and service.
You may wonder why you need Guardio if you have an antivirus and practice safe online practices.
Malicious actors use various methods to access your private information via websites, emails and links. Their emerging threats grow almost faster than cybersecurity technologies can keep up with them.

But Guardio’s innovation and state-of-the-art protection provide seamless detection and prevention of threats, even previously unknown threats, in record time.
That means Guardio can block serious data-stealing attempts to protect your personal information, financial and bank data, private documents, business workflow, company projects and other data.

Because Guardio blocks online threats you may access via your browser(s), and your antivirus removes malware infections and manages cyber protection of your overall system, you are best protected by an excellent antivirus program and Guardio.
Guardio is designed to:
- Prevent Phishing Attacks – It warns against opening fake messages or visiting fraudulent websites where hackers can instantly load malicious software to your hard drive.
- Remove Push Notifications – Those little reminder messages and alerts you receive can contain malware and spyware.
- Remove Harmful Extensions – It is hard for antivirus software to catch malicious extensions because your browser is a “trusted” application—so it stops and removes them.
- Avoid Email Leaks – Email attacks often are the root cause of intentional, criminal data leaks. If a threat is hiding in an email, it alerts you before opening it.
- Monitor Information Leaks – The remote workforce has increased the use of cloud-based collaborative tools. Whether malicious intent or human error, it can detect a leak in your data so you can avoid identity theft.
- Speed Up Your Computer – It cleans your browser of dangerous malware and spyware. It speeds up your browser and protects your private information.
The Guardio Premium Plan not only provides complete browsing protection with real-time threat removals, but it can stop promotional notifications.
And because Guardio is even more critical when multiple users have access to your private information, they offer business-level coverage in addition to their personal plans.
The Guardio Team Plan for businesses includes all the features mentioned, plus an admin panel where you can monitor user activity, add team members and set permissions.
I have given you a brief synopsis of the various things Guardio can do and why you should consider using it. That should be enough to convince you to at least explore this additional cybersecurity option some more.
Head over to the Guardio website for more details. You may want to give Guardio a free 7-day trial to see if it is right for you or your team.
In my way of thinking Guardio is just another layer of cyber protection, and like insurance you can never really have too much.
