(BPT) - The digital world is constantly changing, and with it, the threat landscape. Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, and as a result, our online security needs to be more robust than ever.
Your home network does not just connect you to the internet; your WiFi router or mesh system is also a virtual gateway to your home, your family and your personal information. That means your router is also the first line of defense against cyberattacks. It's not just about speed and performance — it's about choosing a device that helps protect your security and privacy.
