PROTECT IQ
ɪɴᴄʟᴜᴅᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ꜱᴇʀᴠɪᴄᴇ

You have locks on every door and window. But not your network?

As hackers and malware become increasingly more sophisticated, your network requires an equally innovative solution. ProtectIQ™ helps you keep a lock on your network – and alerts you when any unwanted visitors try to enter.

Proactively monitors home’s incoming traffic and automatically blocks anything suspicious.

Blocks attempted visits to known harmful websites, presenting users with a browser message indicating that the website is not available.

Provide an active security monitoring service that uses a large and constantly growing database of threats (database is updated weekly).

Uses intrusion prevention settings (IPS) to monitor, notify, and prevent activity such as hackers trying to gain access to the local video content (Wi-Fi connected doorbell or baby monitor), virtual meetings, and other streams.

Actively terminates data transfers before a malicious payload is delivered to any vulnerable network device.

Notifies users whenever a security issue is triggered, with details about the device that was attacked, where the attack came from, and when the attack occurred.
