When it comes to home security, most people don’t really give a damn – me included. Sometimes at least. If you’re using an ASUS router, then you will definitely be happy to know that their AiProtection blocked almost 5 million internet-based threats, and blocked nearly 150 million attempts to visit websites with hidden security threats.
During the first half of 2016, analysis of ASUS AiProtection activity on the installed base of ASUS routers indicated that over almost five million internet-based attacks were prevented, which is an average of over 1.5 attacks per day on each AiProtection-enabled router.
AiProtection is a router-based AiPsecurity software developed in response to the security needs of modern home networks. It incorporates advanced technology from Trend Micro — including the first consumer implementation of commercial-grade intrusion prevention technology — to detect, block and neutralize security threats on home networks.
AiProtection can prevent infected devices — even those without anti-virus capabilities, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices — from sending personal information to malicious web servers. The proactive protection given by AiProtection is also a key feature that helps defend the network from devices with missing or out-of-date security protection.
Of course, this feature isn’t only for online threat from the internet itself – but also to block infected devices within your house. That includes your home PCs or other smart devices, which have been compromised and commanded to relay data to suspicious external connections. Users are immediately notified via email if this happens, so they can take appropriate action.
