Optimize devices, scan for security and even use Parental Controls through Bitdefender BOX 2 via smart voice assistants

Bitdefender, a leading global cybersecurity technology company protecting over 500 million users worldwide, is pleased to announce that Bitdefender BOX 2 now works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, letting users control Bitdefender BOX or receive status updates about the protected devices through a simple, convenient list of voice commands.


Bitdefender BOX 2, which protects all smart gadgets and connected devices in a home from the rapid expansion of cybercrime, now works with the most popular voice-activated assistants in the US, France and Germany. (A French-language Amazon skill will be available shortly).


Users can now wield the world’s most effective smart home defense with easy phrases such as “Alexa ask Bitdefender: Do I have vulnerable devices in my network" or "OK, Google, ask Bitdefender to run a scan on my laptop".


For Google Home, users can also enjoy the feature with the voice command on devices running on Android 5.0 and above, iOS 10.0 and above, and Chromebooks. It also works for Amazon on Alexa, Echo Dot, Echo, Echo Show, Echo Spot and Fire TV Cube. 


“Protecting yourself from the full array of cybercrime – from ransomware and spyware to botnets and even zero-day attacks – has just become more convenient” explains Bitdefender’s Vice President Consumer Solutions, Ciprian Istrate. “Integration with voice assistants will allow you to seamlessly integrate elite-level security into your smart home, and the open interactive experience will create a relaxed routine that will allow all members of the family to take full advantage of the convenience of a smart home in complete safety.”
