guardDog.ai, a growing leader in cybersecurity solutions for consumers and businesses, and a New Triple Award Winner in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program, has been nominated to compete in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Awards.

For the first time, guardDog.ai has provided the world with a cybersecurity system that is accessible to virtually everyone.

It can see the risks device management solutions don’t cover and can thwart the attempted exploits it detects in less than 2 milliseconds.

A Trail-Blazing Innovation

guardDog.ai has developed a cloud-based software service with a companion device that work together to simplify network security.

The solution exposes invisible threats on networks in ‘edge territory,’ and the devices attached to them, with patented technology to address and prevent cybersecurity threats before they compromise network environments.

Available globally, guardDog.ai uses AI-driven network overlay technology to find and protect attempted cyberattacks in as little as two milliseconds.

The guardDog.ai Fido device and accompanying Protective Cloud Services make it possible for consumers, small business owners, and large enterprises to mitigate threats to their growing array of networked devices without having to hire dedicated IT support.

From the moment users plug their Fido device in, their network and devices are protected by guardDog.ai.

Attacks are stopped, vulnerabilities exposed, and threats prioritized. Protection is easy and automatic.

The 3 most important functional features of guardDog.ai are as follows:

1. Coverage for “edge territory.”

• guardDog.ai makes it possible to detect and proactively thwart the cybersecurity risks that device management isn’t able to see – the threats in the edge territory that require an overlay that’s as simple as “plug and protect” for consumers and businesses.

2. Access to a cloud-based AI database.

• guardDog.ai has developed a cloud-based software service with a companion device (or a software plug-in) that work together to simplify network security.

• The solution exposes invisible threats on networks, and the devices attached to them, with patented technology to address and prevent cybersecurity threats before they compromise network environments.

• It uses a cloud AI database to see and thwart attempted exploits before they can enter the network and succeed in planting virus, phishware, or ransomware attempts.

3. The ability to thwart attempted exploits in less than 2 milliseconds.

• Every business, government, healthcare institution, home consumer, or other organization, is grappling to find security solutions that are adapting to this changing world.

• guardDog.ai is pioneering innovations that can truly meet these new and perpetual challenges.

guardDog Solutions Named a Triple ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner in 2021 Awards Program

guardDog Solutions (First of Three)

Best Cyber Analytics Solution

• guardDog.AI

• guardDog Protective Cloud Services (PCS) is an AI-powered network security solution that doesn’t require cyber security expertise to operate.

• Once activated, users’ Fido device goes to work by detecting threats and vulnerabilities on your network.

• guardDog.AI

• Installation is a snap, and protection is a power light away.

• Secure a home, a small office, a large enterprise, or any other organization with a cyber security management solution made easy that offers services to match the user’s needs.

• How it Works:  Unbox your Fido device, connect to your network, and register. From the moment the power light appears, protection begins. Fido gets to know your network and your devices.

• It recognizes intruders and defends your network and devices. When someone attacks, it deploys automated countermeasures. User’s networks and devices are scanned vigilantly to protect against the known, and the unknown.

guardDog Solutions (Third of Three)

Best Threat Intelligence Solution

• guardDog.AI

• No Experience Required

• Last year alone there were over 12,000 new vulnerability exploits that emerged, and no human could really keep up with that. guardDog’s ai-powered service learns about these attacks and keeps user’s Fido devices up to date.

• The training never stops to prevent a crisis before it happens.

• guardDog.ai has developed a cloud-based software service with a companion device that works together to simplify network security.

The United States was forever changed after the September 11th attacks, and we were fortunate to have many of those who responded to those horrific tragedies join us at the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Luncheon.

In the days that followed 9/11, the critical needs of protecting our country catapulted us into new and innovative ways to secure our homeland – which is how many of the agencies and enterprise organizations that are today ‘ASTORS’ Awards Champions, came into being.

Our 2021 keynote speaker featured a moving and informative address from TSA Administrator and Vice-Admiral of the United States Coast Guard (Ret), David Pekoske; to our attendees who traveled from across the United States and abroad, on the strategic priorities of the 64,000 member TSA workforce in securing the transportation system, enabling safe, and in many cases, contactless travel.

Legendary Police Commissioner William Bratton of the New York Police Department, the Boston Police Department, and former Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department was also live at the event, meeting with attendees and signing copies of his latest work ‘The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America,’ courtesy of the generosity of our 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Premier Sponsors.

The 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program was Proudly Sponsored by AMAROK, Fortior Solutions, and SIMS Software, along with Returning Premier Sponsors ATI Systems, Attivo Networks, Automatic Systems, and Reed Exhibitions.

The continually evolving ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program will emphasize the trail of Accomplished Women in Leadership in 2022, as well as the Significance and Positive Impact of Advancing Diversity and Inclusion in our Next Generation of Government and Industry Leaders. #MentorshipMatters
