Smart Unplug
Smart Unplug (works like a Kill-Switch) uses AI technology to identify safe and unsafe internet communication and immediately disconnect any potential unsafe IP from talking to your device.
-
Sandbox Browser
Sandbox Browser loads the website for you in a sandbox environment, so that any malicious script or downloads do not interfere with your machine.
-
Cyber Security Intel
Cyber Security Intel provides immediately available visibility into the entirety of all network connections, no matter where the device is.
When do you need Smart Unplug?
We improve Kill-Switch with AI.
Unplugging infected computing devices from the network seems to be a wise move. Firstly it stops the computer virus or malware to spread via the network. Secondly, the cyber criminal is not able to steal data or remotely control your device without a network connection.
But without network, your device is like a brick!
How does Smart Unplug protect your computer?
With Smart Unplug, we offer another option and it is free for all users. Maintain the network connectivity with 300k trusted and useful websites (aka whitelisted), while disconnecting potentially unsafe IPs. Since we do not where the cyber attacks are coming from and finding the source’s address is time-consuming, we offer Smart Unplug as a catch-all solution and as an immediate fix for all Internet Users. It is FREE also.
What is Sandbox Browser?
Limiting your computer to access 300k popular websites is secure but also restrictive. Not ideal! So we provide a sandbox allowing users safely access websites outside whitelisted websites. The sandbox browser is delivered to the end-user instantly without any software installed and in the same Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge. The website is opened automatically inside AP Lens Sandbox Browser with full user interactions. In this new setup, the user’s freedom is not restricted and there is no blocking of information flow. The non-whitelisted website is fully operational inside a remote sandbox totally segregated from the company network.
How does Sandbox Browser protect your computer?
AP Lens Sandbox Browser is a distributed cloud system that offers both low latency and also robust cloud infrastructure. Each browsing session is disposable which means that any attack or downloaded code is not stored or affects the next session. The Standard Plan includes the usage of the Sandbox Browser for 24 hours
What is Cyber Security Intel?
Responding to cybersecurity without some basic information is like shooting in the dark. Knowing where the attacks are coming from is helpful to find out the root causes, like which type of attack it is. Hiring a computer forensic is the proper way to conduct investigations. However, it is expensive and time consuming.
How does Cyber Security Intel help you find the network issues?
For an immediate and DIY network intelligence gathering, Cyber First Aid provides a CyberSecurity Intel (CSI) report showing connections made by your devices. The report has essential information like the name of the remote system and the number of connections. It is useful for initial risk assessments and provide a record on what systems are connecting to your devices when the incident is happening. User is going to receive the report in a PDF format in their mailbox (either is themselves or their trusted friends/family).
FAQ

You might have heard that to avoid dangerous files and websites, the best thing to do is to blacklist them. Antivirus software, firewalls and even spam filters use blacklists to identify and block files, websites and domains that have been known to cause damage to your computer. You might also have heard that these systems are far from being 100% accurate. It is simple to see why: if my security is blacklist based, my software needs to know in advance which file or website or domain is insecure in order to block it.
Smart Unplug works differently. It creates a safe network in which you can use the internet without risks because every single IP you communicate with has been checked and approved for safety by our AI engine. Any dangerous communication, including a bank phishing website, a malicious script trying to perform unauthorised actions on your device, or malware turning your video camera on – they will be all blocked as they are not part of the whitelist.

In short: no. Because it does not use a blacklist, Smart Unplug already knows what web domain is safe ( currently we monitor 300,000 popular websites) and block the million not on our safelist.
Unlike other tools like antivirus software, Smart Unplug operates at the network level. Smart Unplug gives you access to an AI-generated pool of safe sites, that gets updated and personalised when you keep using it. With Smart Unplug, you keep using your email software, company website and favourite social media and news site without errors or interruptions, while unsafe or potentially unsafe sites and IPs have no chance to contact you.

A VPN is great to hide your IP address, which also helps obfuscate your location and protect your privacy. However, a VPN does not protect you from a website trying to download malware on your device. It does not protect you from phishing websites and does not de-activate any malicious communication between your device and an attacker that is controlling your computer.
The combined action of Smart Unplug and Sandbox Browser deactivates all existing threats by preventing the attacker from communicating and controlling your device. Smart Unplug will block phishing websites and dangerous websites alike, by allowing you to communicate within a safe network only. However, sometimes you might want to visit a website that is not been added to the whitelist. This can happen when the website you want to visit has been newly created, or is not a very popular website, or maybe it is indeed a phishing or dangerous website. Sandbox Browser allows you to visit even these websites in absolute security, by sending you a perfectly generated preview of the site, but without allowing it to load anything on your device: all processing happens in the cloud, on a virtual browser that gets destroyed and regenerated every time you start a new session. VPN is not able to do any of this, which is why Sandbox Browser is different.
