You lock your front door, so why not your home network? Included with your Lumos Total Home Wi-Fi plan of 500Mbps and up, Internet Security powered by ProtectIQ keeps all your devices secure 24/7, giving you total peace of mind online. It detects intrusions, guards against malicious websites, monitors network traffic, proactively blocks suspicious activity and more.
Protection for your smart home
Stop threats before they ever make it to your connected device. Internet Security defends your Amazon Echo, security cameras and other linked smart systems from hackers by continuously monitoring your home network traffic for potential intrusions or attacks.
Security for remote work
Keep your employer’s sensitive data and trade secrets out of the wrong hands when working from home. Internet Security safeguards your home network from bad actors and blocks any malicious activities so you can work with a private connection.
Shield yourself against common network threats.
Unauthorized access attempts
Unsafe site visits
Working silently in the background 24/7, Internet Security automatically blocks any attempted visits to known harmful websites so that you can browse without worry. A browser message will alert you that the unsecure webpage failed to load.
Suspicious device activities
Internet Security’s IPS Protocol Anomaly feature monitors your network’s traffic patterns so that any unusual activity can be detected and dealt with proactively. It will flag potentially malicious behavior and restrict access to that specific traffic.
Targeted network attacks
Targeted cyber attacks are particularly difficult to detect and defend against because they’re deliberate, purposeful and persistent. Internet Security blocks malicious websites from downloading malware to your connected devices.
IP reputation threats
IP reputation measures the trustworthiness of an IP address based on its past behavior. With Internet Security, IPs with a known bad reputation are identified and blocked, so only trustworthy ones can gain access to your connected devices.
Stay on top of your security with real-time alerts.
Internet Security scans a large cloud database filled with known virus and ransomware threats and then thwarts them in real time. The database is continuously updated to keep you safe from the latest dangers. You can view all the details about the threat when alerted, including:
The protocol type that was blocked
The time the threat occurred
The source IP address of the threat
What action was taken
The device that was targeted
The threat’s source URL
