The internet security and total security options are available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. The Windows internet security software scans suspicious files when they are opened, saved or run.

Mobile security and online privacy

Mobile security software is available for Android devices. Its features include locating a lost smartphone and remotely wiping its contents. The merchant also offers a VPN with connection encryption for Wi-Fi networks and use on the go.

Endpoint security

Business endpoint security covers devices such as PCs, mobile devices and servers. A central administrator interface includes options to add devices, receive security alerts by email and manage networks separately. Mobile device management is included in the endpoint security products and includes options to locate devices, remotely wipe data and block unwanted apps. Optional mail security modules are available for Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Exchange Server.

Extended detection and response

Extended detection and response, or XDR, analyses signals across endpoints. Its cloud-based web console provides central management of endpoints in a browser. The monitored activity includes processes, registry keys, network traffic and suspicious login activity. Device control is also available to specify which devices can be connected to company computers.

Managed detection and response

Managed extended detection and response, or MXDR, combines XDR software with a managed security operations service. Its web console shows security incidents and any recommendations for action. Businesses can set exceptions for individual endpoints, files and processes. Mobile device management is available as an optional add-on.

Security awareness training

Security awareness training includes online courses and simulated phishing emails. The courses cover topics such as malware, ransomware, artificial intelligence, deepfakes, passwords, cloud working and incident reporting. Training content uses characters and stories, with courses arranged across three learning levels. Optional content includes advanced phishing training and a ransomware gaming series.

Incident response

G Data offers an incident response retainer with an onboarding workshop and ongoing consulting. The service covers topics including contingency plans, reporting chains and log data. Incident response work can include IT forensics, malware analysis and a final report with findings and recommendations. The merchant also offers an emergency hotline as part of the retainer.

Penetration testing

Penetration testing is available for internal and external systems, web applications, APIs and AI applications. Other tests cover cloud access controls, Windows client configurations and physical access points. The merchant also offers password audits, network segmentation tests and simulated attacks known as red teaming. A final report includes identified vulnerabilities, an assessment of potential impact and recommendations.

Support and consulting

IT security consulting is available for businesses with specific questions. Optional endpoint support includes migration guidance, remote assistance and configuration consulting. For XDR, optional technical account management includes onboarding, configuration checks and guidance on migration. It also includes support for integrating standard security information and event management systems.
