79% of consumers are concerned about data security or privacy issues.
In recent months, the security of the average home network has become exponentially more critical as shelter-in-place and work-at-home policies have caused more families to live, work, and play at home. Regardless of re-openings, many predict that the way we work and live may be fundamentally changed. When remote internet connectivity blurs the line between work and home, cybersecurity takes on a whole new value in addition to the regular concerns of today’s households.
Unfortunately, DDOS attacks, phishing attempts, and malware infections are rising as bad actors exploit new opportunities in the vulnerabilities of home networks, the growing volume of traffic, and the many devices connected to them. However, new AI-driven security solutions can secure the home using behavioral analysis of network traffic, quickly identify malicious threats, and quarantine devices that behave unusually.
Service providers have a vested interest in protecting the security and reliability of the home network for their customers. With more visibility into the home network and more granular controls for addressing threats, ISPs who partner with security solutions can reduce downtime and deliver the premium user experience consumers value.
This webinar discusses the trends in home network usage and security adoption, the current state of security vulnerabilities and threats, and how ISPs can become the trusted provider of security for their connectivity and entertainment services.
Topics
-
Changing consumer lifestyle patterns, home network usage, and incidence of security and privacy problems
-
Home network vulnerabilities and the advantages in solutions that protect and prevent security threats by proactively keeping consumers safe without requiring their action
-
Opportunities for service providers to integrate with smart home cybersecurity platforms to deliver a full stack of home and mobile security services
