To protect your home and keep it safe from hackers, there are several steps you can take: Securing your home network is essential when it comes to keeping out attackers and protecting your data. If hackers can gain access to your home network, they can steal personal and financial information, infect your devices with viruses and malware, commit cyber-crime from your device or launch a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack. Hackers are opportunistic and ready to take advantage of any lapse in security to launch a targeted attack. We would never dream of leaving the front door to our house open but leaving our Wi-Fi networks unsecured opens us up to the same security risks. Many people are simply unaware of the security risks that these devices can present unless they are properly protected with a secure Wi-Fi network. Whether it’s our computer, tablet, phone, fridge, TV or baby monitor, our increasing reliance on the internet to connect all our devices has opened the door to many risks and poses a range of security problems.
Our increasingly technological world means that our homes are now filled with a wide range of gadgets and devices that require an internet connection.
