What steps can I take to secure my home internet network?

  1. Change default passwords for all devices connected to the home network.
  2. Update passwords regularly’, especially if you have any suspicion that a password has been compromised.
  3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra layer of security.
  4. Keep all devices on the network up-to-date with the latest security software updates.
  5. Avoid online activities that require secure information (e.g. credit card numbers, bank accounts, email accounts, etc.) on public networks.
  6. Research and understand your agreement(s) with your Internet service provider (ISP).
  7. Limit your network visibility and hide your home network from being detected.
  8. Install an appropriate firewall solution on your network to help protect against malicious activity.
  9. Create secure wireless networks (SSIDs) that are visible only to approved devices and users.
