What it is and core concept
Definition
Internet security involves protecting your network and devices from online threats. This includes configuring routers securely, installing antivirus software, setting up firewalls, and educating users on safe browsing habits to prevent data breaches.
Why it matters
Cyber threats are constantly evolving. A secure network protects your personal information, banking details, and business data from theft. Proactive internet security minimizes the risk of ransomware attacks and identity fraud, giving you peace of mind.
How it works and step-by-step
Process
- Audit: We scan your network and devices to identify vulnerabilities and active threats.
- Clean: We remove any malware, viruses, or unauthorized software.
- Harden: We update firmware, change default passwords, and enable encryption.
- Protect: We install endpoint protection and set up automated updates.
Featured answer
Our internet security process starts with a vulnerability assessment to find weak points in your network. We then remove any existing infections, secure your router and Wi-Fi with strong encryption, and implement layered defenses like DNS filtering and endpoint protection to block future attacks.

Quick checks

- Ensure your operating system and antivirus software are up to date.
- Look for unknown devices on your Wi-Fi network list.
