The facts

Cox offers our high-speed Internet customers multiple layers of protection. From a network perspective, Cox uses DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) compliant cable modems and equipment which encrypts our customers’ data as it flows through the network. With Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI), Cox controls distribution of encryption keys to its customers’ cable modems from its master telecommunications center and hub sites. Policing and filtering functions are used to reduce risks from attacks targeted at a customer’s PC.

Cox also offers a free software security suite to every Cox High Speed Internet customer. This comprehensive security suite offers a personal firewall, anti-spyware, anti-virus, pop-up blocker, spam-blocker and parental controls. Activating these features give you state-of-the-art protection against a variety of online threats.
