Protecting Subscribers from Cyber Attacks

July 24, 2025

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.

Safe, Fast and Worry-Free Internet

At MidSouth Fiber, we believe your internet experience should be more than just fast — it should be safe, too. That’s why we’re always working to deliver more value for our subscribers.

Whether you’re managing a business or just browsing from your living room, ProtectIQ is one of many benefits you get when you choose smarter internet through MidSouth Fiber.
