Online threats have evolved — becoming sophisticated and more personal — putting both homes and businesses at risk. At MidSouth Fiber, we’re committed to providing fast and reliable internet while also making your connection safer.
That’s why we’re proud to protect every subscriber using our GigaSpire router with ProtectIQ™ advanced network security — at no added cost.
What is ProtectIQ?
ProtectIQ™ is a cutting-edge network security software that continuously monitors your network and protects all connected devices from malicious threats. Think of it as a 24/7 digital bodyguard standing between your personal data and the outside world.
With ProtectIQ™ working silently in the background, you’re protected from:
- Cyberattacks
- Viruses
- Malware
- Ransomware
- Suspicious traffic and harmful content
Why It Matters
Whether you’re working from home, running a business, streaming your favorite shows or your kids are doing homework online — cybersecurity matters. You wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, so why leave your network unprotected?
ProtectIQ helps you:
- Keep your family safe from online threats
- Protect sensitive business data
- Guard your banking information, passwords and personal files
- Get real-time alerts when something suspicious is blocked
How It Works
ProtectIQ lives inside your GigaSpire router. Once it’s enabled, it automatically scans data entering the network and blocks anything suspicious — before it reaches connected devices. There’s no software to install, no apps to manage and no tech experience required. Just peace of mind, built right into your connection.
