DETECTING CYBER THREATS

Stop dangerous activity in its tracks

The Advanced Security system is constantly looking out for you and your network safety by monitoring the activity and traffic flow of connected devices. When a potential threat or attack is detected, it’s instantly blocked and you’ll receive a notification with tips on how to resolve the issue.

TYPES OF THREATS & ATTACKS

Here are the 5 risks to know

The technology behind Advanced Security monitors your network and helps protect you from several types of digital threats.

Unauthorized access attempts

If an unrecognized user tries to connect to a device on your home network, they’ll be blocked and recorded in your Threat History.

Unsafe site visit

The system may stop your device from visiting a site if it suspects it contains any form of malware, spyware or virus.

Suspicious device activity

Your device’s traffic patterns are monitored in real-time, so if something seems off, the system will block the activity to avoid data theft.   

Targeted network attack

Any attempt to attack your network, or an outside source using your network in an attack, will be shut down on the spot.

IP reputation threats

When sources that have been previously flagged as dangerous make access attempts to your devices, they are automatically blocked.

HOW TO SET UP NOTIFICATIONS

Real-time alerts for ultimate network safety

Get push notifications on the different types of alerts for your home wifi network. You'll be able to see any new notification activity in the Notifications Center.

HOW TO CHECK SECURITY STATUS

Make sure things are running smooth

Check in on your network’s safety status any time with the Advanced Security dashboard. This gives you a big-picture view into how your network is doing, along with a list of threats and affected devices from the past seven days.

HOW TO MANAGE SECURITY THREATS

The easy way to deal with digital dangers

When unusual activity is detected on your network’s devices, there are two types of threat alerts: awareness-only and action required. See below for how to manage both types of security threats.

Threats like suspicious site visits don’t require any action on your end, but the system will still alert you so you’re never in the dark about your network’s safety. To view additional details for awareness-only threats, select the affected device on your Advanced Security card under the Connect tab for the full recap

Targeted network attacks, suspicious device activity or unauthorized access attempts may require you to take further action. In this case, you’ll see an alert at the top of your Advanced Security dashboard with information about the device(s) that need your attention. Select the affected device to get full details about the threat and instructions on what to do next.

How to resolve security threats

Take action against cyber risks

It’s important to get ahead of threats; or if already dealing with one, to cut it off from your network. See below for some tips on how to resolve and get ahead of security threats.

Hardware tips

If one of your network’s devices is affected, use Advanced Security to pause its access or disconnect to stop putting other devices at risk. Also be sure to check your port forwards to ensure there are no potential access for malicious attackers.

Software tips

Installing an antivirus software and running scheduled scans is one of the best ways to defend your devices. Keep the software or firmware updated on all your devices, and restart your device after the update.

By using AI, Advanced Security can “learn” communication traffic patterns to recognize what’s normal and what isn’t for devices on a network — and then use that information to block cyber threats. Advanced Security protects all your connected devices, including smart devices, like doorbell cameras, network storage devices, streaming video players, printers, and smart appliances. Hackers run scans across the Internet to identify networks and devices with vulnerabilities and then exploit them; once a connected-home device is compromised, the malware typically scans other home network devices to spread a virus.
