Arr, me hearties! Listen up, ye scurvy dogs! Me heart swells with joy to announce that ye, the noble Plus subscribers, can now avail yerselves of the mighty Proton Sentinel! 'Tis a grand protection program fer ye VPN users, who be at a higher risk of vile cyberattacks. Gather 'round, lads, and I'll tell ye all ye need to know.
In November 2023, Proton introduced a new password manager tool that offers additional ways for users to protect their digital privacy. Alongside encrypting passwords, logins, and other sensitive information, Proton Pass Plus subscribers can now enroll in the provider's exclusive protection program for users at higher risk of cyberattacks.The Swiss company, known for its secure email, encrypted cloud storage, and VPN service, assures that this program will prevent attackers from accessing data, even if the user's Proton Account username and password have been leaked.
Proton Sentinel, the high-security program, combines AI monitoring with human analysis to detect and challenge suspicious activities on user accounts. It has already prevented over 3,000 account takeover attacks since its launch in August. The program leverages Proton's anti-abuse systems, which have protected millions of accounts against various threats.
Proton Pass encrypts all data locally on the device and stores it in data vaults, ensuring that even the provider cannot access or decrypt stored information. However, Proton Sentinel provides an extra layer of protection, especially against phishing attacks and social engineering scams that compromise user credentials.
Proton Pass, which offers unlimited password protection and device access, has been continuously improving its features. In October, it allowed users to securely share sensitive information without compromising privacy. The addition of Proton Sentinel is the next step in the provider's efforts to enhance security.
To access Proton Sentinel's extra security, users need to upgrade to Proton Pass Plus, which costs less than $5 per month. The program is initially designed for users at higher risk of cyberattacks, but anyone can enroll by enabling Proton Sentinel in their Proton account settings.
