Quick Heal Launches Next-Gen Suite of Cybersecurity Solutions

Pune headquartered Quick Heal Technologies Limited, one of the leading providers of IT Security Solutions to consumers, today announced the launch of its next-generation suite of cybersecurity solutions – ‘Lighter Smarter Faster’, for laptops and desktops. The launch underlines Quick Heal’s 25-year legacy and constant focus on innovation to design future-ready solutions aimed at providing best-in-class protection against sophisticated cyber-threats.

The launch of Quick Heal’s ‘Lighter Smarter Faster’ suite marks a significant step in the direction of combatting the rapid evolution of the global threat landscape. In its Annual Threat Report 2019, Quick Heal reported more than 973 million malware attacks on desktops and laptops during 2018. More alarming, however, it highlighted how threats such as ransomware, crypto-miners and banking trojans have evolved over time to avoid signature-based detections and deliver advanced attack payloads on systems.

With the launch of ‘its next generation suite, Quick Heal has revamped its superior offerings which includes Quick Heal Total Security, Quick Heal Internet Security and Quick Heal AntiVirus Pro, designed to safeguard the digital lives of consumers from cyberattacks, privacy breaches and other online threats. Backed by industry-leading security technology and advanced features, the brand new range of Quick Heal solutions will go beyond the protection offered by traditional anti-virus solutions.

Kailash Katkar, Managing Director and CEO, said, “Quick Heal was founded with the promise of providing digital citizens with the best and most relevant cybersecurity solutions. In the past 25 years, we have endeavoured to uphold that promise through our commitment to innovation. The launch of the ‘Lighter Smarter Faster’ range is another step towards protecting consumers from new-age threats in the cyber space with state-of-the-art technologies. We remain committed to ensuring the safest digital experience to digital citizens through our range of cutting-edge security offerings.”

Sanjay Katkar, Joint Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer, said, “Since the launch of its first antivirus back in 1993, Quick Heal has set itself apart for providing the most cutting-edge cybersecurity while consuming the lowest system resources. However, over the past 25 years, threats have evolved exponentially and become more complex and sophisticated. We had realised sometime back that simply adding more security layers to combat the growing evolution of the threat landscape isn’t a sustainable solution. If a cybersecurity solution got too heavy to install or slowed down the system performance too much, consumers would simply stop installing or upgrading it. But, in today’s dynamic, threat-prone digital landscape, not installing security solutions is also not a feasible option. The launch of our next-generation suite addresses both these challenges by delivering ‘Lighter Smarter Faster’ cybersecurity while reducing the load demand on the end-user system. We are confident that the launch will help Quick Heal customers gain a competitive advantage against global threat actors.”

Quick Heal’s next generation suite is aimed at providing a seamless and uninterrupted digital experience to consumers by protecting their precious personal data, banking credentials, privacy, memories and more from the wrath of cybercriminals. The new range of solutions are equipped with advanced and comprehensive features like Total Ransomware Protection, as well as Webcam Protection, Portable File Vault, Safe Banking, Parental Control, Web Security and many more, to give its customers an edge over sophisticated cybercriminals and threat actors.

With this ground-breaking development, Quick Heal has distilled its extensive expertise in state-of-the-art cybersecurity and threat defence into new-age security solutions that offer the maximum protection with minimal resource consumption. The latest version of the Quick Heal products, for instance, will be less demanding on device memory and drastically reduce the processor load and disk storage requirement – thus having minimal impact on device performance. The ‘Lighter Smarter Faster’ version also enables quicker security scans and improves the device shutdown time and comes equipped with several smart features.

Amongst the new features introduced by Quick Heal is Total Ransomware Protection, an industry-first feature which provides complete protection for important user data against critical ransomware attacks. Quick Heal has also introduced the Tally Backup feature in Total Ransomware Protection to protect and recover critical Tally files, along with the popular document formats, in case of an attack.

Portable File Vault, on the other hand, restricts unauthorised access to users’ confidential documents through state-of-the-art encryption and prevents deletion of data, while Webcam protection shields webcams against privacy intrusion attempts. Other features, such as Safe Banking and Web Security also ensure that Quick Heal customers remain safe and secure from potential threats and cyber-attacks when online – whether banking, accessing information, or just browsing through the Internet.

Get This Free Antivirus Software Launched By Russia’s Kaspersky Lab

While we all have expensive lock/security systems to protect our homes from burglars, but when it comes to the security of our personal information on our computers, a lot of us look the other way and hope that the everything works out on their own as we are not interested in spending big bucks on renewing our antivirus every year. If you're one of those who belongs to the anti-antivirus group, then you must give a try Kaspersky Lab's latest antivirus release, Kaspersky Free.

The Russian multinational cybersecurity and anti-virus provider headquartered in Moscow has recently released a free version of its antivirus software across the globe. The launch comes amid growing speculations in the United States that the cyber firm is vulnerable to Russian government influence.

Kaspersky Lab's founder, Eugene Kaspersky wrote a blog announcing the big release and said that the antivirus software is being immediately made available in the United States, Canada, and several Asia Pacific countries. The company plans to launch the free version of the software in several other regions in the coming few months.

In order to calm the nerves of people who have spent big money to buy their paid Kaspersky antivirus software, the founder of the cyber firm assured the customers that the free version offers just "the bare essentials" such as email and web antivirus protection and is not intended to replace the paid versions of the antivirus softwares. However, he did clarify that Kaspersky Free is capable of benefiting all past, present and future Kaspersky Lab's customers as it is capable of improving machine learning across its products.

Quashing rumours that the free antivirus release was a sudden move to gain back credibility the firm had lost after the rumours of it being under Russian government influence started doing the round, the company said that it had been meticulously working on the software for last 18 months now. In fact, the software went through a proper development phase that included carrying out pilots in several markets including Russia, China, Ukraine and Scandinavian countries.



20-years-old Kaspersky Lab has grown on to become one of the world's leading anti-virus software companies since its launch in 1997. While the company has been under scanner for several years now in the U.S. for having close proximity to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), the concerns have grown to great heights in the recent times following Russia's invasion of Crimea and Russia's role in hacking of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

All this while Moscow and Kaspersky have denied the accusations and asked the U.S. to furnish proper documents if they have any to support their bizarre claims.

Last month FBI agents visited the homes of Kaspersky employees as part of a counterintelligence probe. Reportedly, the Trump administration has also decided to remove the company from a list of approved vendors who sell technology products to federal government agencies in the country.

According to Kaspersky, its U.S. revenue has seen a fall of $156 million in 2016 from $164 million in 2014 due to false narrative about the company in the country.
