How MidSouth Fiber Keeps Your Home and Business Secure
In today’s digital landscape, staying protected online is more important than ever. Cyber threats, including viruses, malware and data breaches, are constantly evolving, putting personal and business information at risk. At MidSouth Fiber, we prioritize your safety by providing advanced network security features that shield your internet experience, giving you peace of mind.
ProtectIQ: Built-In Network Security
MidSouth Fiber Internet subscribers with Gigaspire routers benefit from ProtectIQ, a powerful security tool built directly into the router. This feature automatically blocks threats like malware, viruses and suspicious web activity before they reach your devices. In just one month, ProtectIQ intercepted over 135,000 cyber threats targeting subscribers. These protections happen seamlessly, but subscribers can monitor blocked threats in real time using the MidSouth Fiber app. ProtectIQ is included in every package for subscribers using our router, ensuring comprehensive protection at no additional cost.
Why Cybersecurity Matters:
- Shopping Online: Without robust protections in place, hackers can steal sensitive credit card details during online transactions, putting your financial information at risk.
- Business Vulnerabilities: If a business’s financial software or banking information is hacked, customer data, including payment methods and personal details, could be compromised, jeopardizing customer trust and business relationships while potentially leading to financial loss or identity theft.
- Malware and Viruses: Malware is designed to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorized access to your devices, while viruses can replicate and spread, slowing down your devices and exposing your data. Without protection, these threats can compromise your system’s performance, disrupt your daily activities and even render devices unusable.
By combining robust network protections and easy-to-use tools, MidSouth Fiber Internet ensures your connection is not only fast but secure.
