Most people still think of VPNs and antivirus as two separate categories.
NordVPN is betting that distinction no longer reflects how cyberattacks actually work.

The company has announced a broader digital security strategy that places its next-generation antivirus technology alongside its VPN service, identity monitoring tools, and threat protection capabilities.

The shift comes as phishing campaigns, scam websites, credential theft, account takeovers, and social engineering attacks continue to outpace many traditional malware-based threats.

I had a person inform me that they support Facebook claiming they got the best security in the industry.
