Guardio by Guardio is a browser protection and anti-malware tool that protects from malvertising, phishing, scams, and malicious extensions. Guardio uses a cloud-centric approach to perform resource-intensive analysis securely away from the endpoint. Guardio’s infrastructure enables real-time updates to block signatures, rules, and heuristics. It provides up-to-the-minute visibility of the internet using a mixture of real-time and bulk data pipelines with dynamic heuristics for relevant analysis. Guardio maps, stores, and indexes the entire Chrome Extension ecosystem for extensive coverage of malicious extensions, constantly probing and mapping large portions of the visible internet. Metadata and fingerprints (WHOIS, DNS records, hosting providers) are gathered and factored into its decision-making engine. Guardio uses client-side deep learning models to detect visual elements in fraudulent websites and provide immediate mitigation without compromising privacy, bandwidth, or security. Guardio’s algorithms and heuristics sift through large amounts of data for anomalies and signs of malicious activity. By cross-referencing information, Guardio uncovers and flags criminal business models and infrastructure with minimal human interaction. This results in seamless detection and prevention of unknown threats. Guardio leverages machine learning (AI) to analyze malicious behavior, detecting and blocking new threats even if attackers change techniques. Guardio provides real-time, community-based protection, proactively stopping threats before they are detected. Guardio protects personal data in real-time, stopping threats before they can steal data and jeopardize online security. Guardio is a Chrome extension listed on browser stores like Google Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-Ons, with a four-and-a-half star rating and numerous customer reviews. Guardio has both a Featured and an Established Publisher badge from Google, indicating a consistent positive track record with Google services and compliance with the Developer Program Policy.
