Real-Time Protection

Real-time protection is the core defense layer of True Protection by Jag. It continuously monitors your system for threats and blocks malicious activity before it can cause harm.

How Real-Time Protection Works

When any file is created, modified, opened, or executed on your system, the real-time scanner intercepts the operation and checks the file against multiple detection methods:

  • Signature-Based Detection: Compares files against a database of known malware signatures, updated multiple times daily.
  • Heuristic Analysis: Examines file behavior patterns to detect new or modified threats not yet in the signature database.
  • JagAI Cloud Analysis: Suspicious files are analyzed by our cloud-based JagAI engine for advanced threat detection using proprietary machine learning models.
  • Behavioral Monitoring: Watches running processes for suspicious actions such as unauthorized registry modifications, keylogging, or data exfiltration attempts.

Protection Modules

  • File Guard: Scans files on access, creation, and modification.
  • Process Guard: Monitors active processes and blocks malicious behaviors.
  • Web Shield: Blocks access to malicious, phishing, and fraudulent websites.
  • Email Guard: Scans email attachments and links in supported email clients.
  • Download Guard: Automatically scans files as they are downloaded from the internet.

Performance Impact

True Protection is engineered for minimal performance impact. The real-time scanner typically uses less than 2% CPU during normal operation and intelligently prioritizes scanning to avoid interfering with your work.
