Protect™ Benefits
What is Protect?
A network-level security service that protects ALL devices connected to your
Wi-Fi. If it’s connected, it’s protected!
What is ProtectIQ doing to keep my network safe?

- When was the last time you updated the virus protection for your smart doorbell or thermostat? Virus protection solutions (like Norton or McAfee) don’t protect everything. They might protect a laptop or desktop, but there is no protection for your smart home devices. You can’t install virus protection on a Nest Thermostat or Ring Doorbell.
- How many times have you ignored the suggested updates for virus protection you might have installed on a computer? Protect updates every single week, automatically protecting you from a growing list of known threats, for every connected device in your home. No manual update required.
- Did you know hackers can push into your home network through unprotected connected devices?
Devices like Amazon Echo, Nest, security cameras, and even our phones are constantly pushing data back to the Cloud. Hackers are constantly looking to steal this information, but with Intrusion Prevention Settings you can rest assured that MosaicEdgeTM Protect is constantly monitoring the traffic in your network to block intrusions and threats.
