Cylance Extends to Consumer Market

Irvine-based cybersecurity software developer Cylance has launched a new product, aimed at the consumer market. Cylance said it has launched Cylance Smart Antivirus, which takes the company's enterprise, artificial intelligence-driven antivirus technology and applies it to home users. The software is the first for the consumer market for Cylance, which supplies its AI antivirus software to corporate users under the name CylancePROTECT. Cylance is offering up the new title on a yearly basis, starting at $29 a year for a single computer, and ranging up to $99 a year for up to 10 computers on a family plan. Unlike traditional consumer antivirus software, Cylance does not rely on constantly updating "signatures" on viruses, and instead predicts and block threats based on behavior.
