How can I protect my home network from attack?

To begin to protect your home network from attack, you can take the following steps:

  1. Change the default login credentials of your home router and any devices connected to it to use strong, unique usernames and passwords.
  2. Don’t share your usernames and passwords.
  3. Set up a separate guest network for people to connect to, especially if you use your home network to access work files and data.
  4. Use anti-virus software on all devices that it can be installed on.
  5. Keep your devices updated with the latest firmware and security patches.
  6. Use a firewall to limit access to your network.
  7. Regularly monitor your network for any unusual activity.
