Why? The proliferation of internet enabled devices in the market while creating a never before seen connected environment, has equally increased the threats from these devices to organizations and individuals. Year on year companies can be seeing spending a higher percentage of their revenue towards IT security to protect their valuable data.
While the scale might be different from enterprise security to home security, the level of threats faced are equally high and unfortunately highly probable to be exploited. Take your average household today and simply factor the amount of WiFi enabled devices you’d have. Phones, smart speakers, printers, smart watches, smart bulbs & switches; you could essentially go on until the sun comes down. However, what very few people think of is the threat each of these devices pose even though they have made our lives so much more efficient.
This is why D-Link have introduced the D-Fend AC2600 smart WiFi router. With built-in protection by McAfee the D-Fend AC2600 router is capable of stopping threats right at the network layer before it could ever reach any of your devices.
