Real-time IDS designed to work alongside your antivirus. While traditional antivirus relies on signatures, MZGuard focuses on suspicious activity signals to help reduce risk from malware, ransomware, script abuse, and advanced attack patterns.
Reduce credential theft and privacy leaks with clear, user-controlled protections
Adds a protective layer against keylogging and credential capture attempts, with user-confirmed actions to reduce unwanted blocking.
Blocks screenshots on sensitive workflows using an invisible protection layer, helping prevent accidental or malicious data exposure.
Monitors screen sharing attempts (browser and conferencing apps) and requires explicit user consent before allowing capture/broadcast.
Detects suspicious clipboard changes (e.g., address/IBAN swapping) and helps prevent silent payment redirection.
Monitors webcam access system-wide and provides OS-level blocking controls, with allow/deny decisions for trusted applications.
Monitors microphone access system-wide and provides OS-level blocking controls to reduce the risk of silent recording.
Protects crypto transfers from clipboard address substitution by detecting and blocking suspicious copy/paste hijacking.
Helps protect bank transfers by detecting and blocking IBAN/code substitution during copy/paste and invoice workflows.
Multi-layer defense against ransomware, APT activity, and emerging attack techniques
Detects ransomware-like file activity patterns (mass changes, rapid renames) and can interrupt suspicious behavior.
Monitors process behavior for suspicious execution patterns often used by malware and post-exploitation tooling.
Detects risky PowerShell activity commonly used for initial access, lateral movement, and payload delivery.
Monitors suspicious command-line usage and blocks destructive patterns used by ransomware and attackers.
Helps protect restore points and shadow copies so recovery options remain available during an incident.
Scans downloads before execution to reduce the risk of running a known malicious or suspicious payload.
Adds extra guardrails around risky document and attachment workflows often used for first-stage compromise.
Validates the identity of critical Windows processes to help detect lookalike malware and masquerading.
Helps prevent boot configuration tampering used to reduce recovery options and hinder cleanup.
Reduces USB-borne risk by monitoring removable media behaviors and blocking suspicious autorun-style execution.
Detects common persistence attempts so threats can’t quietly survive reboots and stay hidden.
Hardens Windows, detects tampering, and accelerates incident response with clear audit trails
YARA-driven exploit defense that scans common high-risk payload carriers (documents, PDFs, executables, downloads) before they become incidents.
Runs a system hardening checklist and highlights weak or tampered settings (Defender, firewall profiles, services) with guided fixes.
Unified security event timeline across all modules, with live flow visibility and export-ready incident context.
Flexible response options to contain threats without breaking legitimate workflows.
A practical way to tune protection without disabling it: allow trusted tools while keeping high-risk behaviors monitored.
Real-time ransomware detection and automatic backup management
Real-time ransomware defense with protected zones, honeypots, and an auto-recovery workflow designed to minimize downtime.
Prevents HID-based attacks and unauthorized USB device usage
Detects suspicious HID-style input patterns and helps prevent scripted keystroke injection from unauthorized USB devices.
Real-time network monitoring, curated rules, and Windows Firewall enforcement for visible, controllable blocking
Detects suspicious network activity and provides a controllable firewall rules engine: review active threats, tune profiles, and enforce protections in Windows Firewall.
