With viruses, ransomware, spyware, infostealers, and outright scams, online fraud has been a pervasive and growing problem. In the US, one in three people who reported fraud last year lost money, with the total collective amount reaching $12.5 billion. Now, security firm Malwarebytes is trying to combat these types of cybercrimes with its latest security tools.

Aimed at financial institutions, HR benefit providers, and internet service providers, the new tools offer a package of security, privacy, and identity protection. Organizations can opt to use all the tools or pick and choose what they need. Either way, the goal is to help them defend their customers and employees from viruses, ransomware, and other scams that fall into online fraud.

“Malwarebytes’ new partnership program is a direct response to the alarming surge in cybercrime impacting consumers around the globe,” Oren Arar, vice president of business development for Malwarebytes, said in a news release.

Comprehensive protection for consumers. Watching over PCs, mobile devices, and network traffic, the real-time protection can detect and block more advanced cyberthreats. A VPN is available to secure all online activity, an identity tool can monitor for identity theft and similar risks, and a data remover can erase sensitive personal data found online.
Browser security. With a browser component, the tools can detect phishing sites and other malicious pages. They are also able to protect users against banking trojans that try to steal sensitive financial information.
Turnkey integration. The tools can integrate directly into an organization’s environment without any complicated setup required. Since the security is cloud-based, organizations can scale it based on the needs of their employees and customers. Malwarebytes also offers API integration, automated license key provisioning, and flexible features that can be bundled together or used on an opt-in basis.

Additional perk for Eero users

Beyond the new security tools, Malwarebytes is also expanding its protection for people who use Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems. Eero Plus customers already receive Malwarebytes Premium Security for their devices. Soon, added to the mix will be protection for more devices, as well as Malwarebytes Family Identity Theft Protection.
