Security for the connected home ​

By 2025, it is estimated that there will be 75 billion devices connected to the internet—that is 25 devices per household. Fortune reported a 105 percent increase in ransomware cyberattacks worldwide in 2021, attributed to the surge in remote work outside office networks. ​

As cybersecurity threats are becoming more and more sophisticated, your subscribers need continuous online protection that is equally innovative. 

Keep malicious websites, viruses, and intrusions away from your subscribers’ homes 24x7 ​​

ProtectIQ is a network-level security application that works quietly in the background and proactively keeps malicious websites, viruses, and intrusions away from subscribers’ homes 24x7. ProtectIQ leverages a large cloud database of known virus and ransomware threats and by looking for the specific signatures of these threats in real-time, it can prevent the transfer of data—before a malicious payload is delivered to any vulnerable devices in the network. As new threats emerge daily, the threat database is updated continuously to offer protection against the latest threats.​

 

With ProtectIQ in their home networks, subscribers keep their data and assets shielded from hostile activity over the internet. By offering ProtectIQ security, the Broadband Service Provider protects the entire home or business network and provides subscribers an added layer of protection for connected devices.
