ProtectIQ: Your Home's Digital Security Guard
Automatic protection that works 24/7 to help keep your family safe online.
ProtectIQ is like having a security guard at every entrance to your home network. It's always watching, always protecting, and works automatically from the moment your Gibson Connect service is installed. You don't need to download anything, configure settings, or even think about it; ProtectIQ is already helping keeping your network safe.
What is ProtectIQ?
ProtectIQ is network-level cybersecurity that protects every device in your home, from phones and tablets to smart TVs and thermostats. Unlike antivirus software that you install on individual devices, ProtectIQ works at your home's internet gateway, stopping threats before they ever reach your devices.
The best part? It's already working for you. From the moment we set up your Wi-Fi service, ProtectIQ is active and protecting your home. There's nothing to install, no software to update, and no subscriptions to manage. It just works.
How ProtectIQ Protects Your Home
Think of ProtectIQ as a security guard standing at your front door, checking everyone who tries to enter. When problems are detected, ProtectIQ stops them automatically and sends you a notification through the Gibson Connect app. It even monitors your connected devices to detect and block suspicious activity before it can spread through your home network. Remember, staying safe online is a team effort. ProtectIQ provides powerful protection, but you should still practice good online safety habits like using strong passwords, being cautious with suspicious emails and website, and thinking before you click.
