Helping providers transform connectivity into trust by protecting every device, from routers to IoT
The connected home just got a whole lot safer. Global cyber security leaderF-Secure and home networking pioneer Actiontec continue their partnership to bring world-class digital protection to every device on the home network: including smart TVs, thermostats, game consoles, baby monitors, and everything in between.
With cyber threats rising andscammers exploiting the weakest links, consumers need more than piece-by-piece security. Now with F-Secure available on Actiontec's most advanced Wi-Fi gateways, providers can offer a seamless, always-on home network protection layer that works behind the scenes to block harmful content, phishing attempts, spyware, and attacks on IoT devices – without any device slow-downs in sight.
Clear consumer demand, critical opportunity for providersConsumers are looking directly to their service providers for scam protection. A recent study by F-Secure showed 92% of Americans say it's important that phone/internet/cable providers offer digital scam protection, and 86% are somewhat or very likely to choose a provider based on what security services they offer. This shows the clear consumer demand for providers to supercharge their cyber security offerings, and now with Actiontec's most advanced gateways, they can benefit from:
— All-Device Protection: From smart TVs, gaming consoles, thermostats, wireless printers, to baby monitors; no connected device is overlooked. Actiontec's gateway-level defenses complement F-Secure's Total endpoint security solution that secures online devices outside the home, including mobile phones, tablets, and laptop devices.
— Parental Controls & Content Filtering: Households can enable fine-grained controls, blocking access per device or per user for any red-flag content, offering peace of mind for parents and guardians.
— Modular, Cloud-Based, and Hardware-Agnostic: The solution is designed for flexibility. Service providers can deploy it without requiring hardware replacement or firmware updates; it operates on select Actiontec gateways. It also includes APIs for integrating security and control policies across third-party systems, all while respecting privacy.
— Easy Deployment & Scalability: Thanks to cloud-based architecture, rollout is fast and scalable. Providers can bring value-added security services to their subscriber bases with minimal friction.
With more than 20 connected devices in the average home, consumers want convenience — not complexity. By embedding security at the network level, broadband providers can now deliver peace of mind along with connectivity, turning trust into adifferentiator.
