From smart doorbells to connected TVs, our homes are becoming more high-tech by the day. As the number of devices connected to our home WiFi grows, so does the need to keep them protected from online threats.
According to IDC Canada, 37 per cent of Canadian households use home automation devices, while 39 per cent use smart security devices.* These technologies can make everyday life more convenient, whether you’re checking a camera while away from home or controlling your lights from your phone, but they also add more connected devices to keep track of and protect.
That’s where network-level cybersecurity can make a difference for your home WiFi network. Rather than relying on individual security measures for every device, Rogers Xfinity Internet offers Advanced Security, a built-in feature designed to help protect every connected device in the home from cyberthreats.
Peace of mind for your connected home
Rogers Xfinity Advanced Security provides an additional layer of protection by monitoring your home WiFi network from online threats in real time. It helps block devices from accessing known malicious websites and content, while also alerting you to suspicious activity.
The feature is designed to help protect all devices connected to your home network, including computers, smartphones, smart TVs, streaming devices, cameras, doorbells and gaming consoles. It can also help prevent family members from accidentally visiting malicious sites that may contain malware, spyware, ransomware or viruses.
For Rogers Xfinity Internet customers, the protection is included at no additional cost, with no extra hardware to install. It can also complement traditional antivirus software, adding another layer of defence across your smart devices.
That built-in protection makes a meaningful difference, with Rogers Xfinity Advanced Security blocking more than 40 million cyberthreats each month for Rogers Xfinity customers.
Keeping security simple as technology evolves
Rogers
With so many devices connecting to the internet, managing cybersecurity can quickly become complicated. Rogers Xfinity Advanced Security helps simplify protection by working at the home network level, allowing multiple connected devices to benefit without requiring a separate security setup for each one.
Customers can manage their home network through the Rogers Xfinity app, where they can also view security alerts and set parental controls. Advanced Security is optional and can be turned on or off through the app, giving customers control over whether they want to use the feature.
For the best experience, Rogers Xfinity Gateways and WiFi Pod extenders are designed to work together as a unified WiFi system. Using third-party extenders or mesh WiFi systems can affect device connections and limit the visibility and protection available through Advanced Security.
A timely reminder to protect your devices
As Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the holiday shopping season approach, many Canadians will be looking to add new technology to their homes. Whether it’s a smart speaker, a connected doorbell or a new gaming console, every new device is another reason to think about online security.
As more devices connect to your home network, Rogers Xfinity Internet with Advanced Security offers a simple way to stay ahead of potential threats, with an extra layer of protection across the connected home at no additional cost.
