NordVPN now helps users protect themselves from vulnerable apps
Summary
"The vulnerability detection feature automatically checks the applications for known security flaws that hackers may exploit to gain unauthorised access to device and sensitive information. If vulnerability detection identifies an open-to-attack app on a computer, it immediately send user a notification so he can take action to protect data and device," says Vykintas Maknickas, Head of Product Strategy at NordVPN. After receiving a vulnerability detection alert about a software security loophole, a user should update the susceptible app immediately. If theres no update notification, cybersecurity experts advise to visit the developers website and search for the latest version of the app. A user should be wary of possible cyber dangers if the software developer doesnt offer security patches to fix the vulnerability.
