Real estate experts: Protect your smart home with Bitdefender BOX

Making your smart home hack-proof is no easy task — but, according to high-end real estate magazine Mansion Global there has never been a greater need for solutions to protect your household against spies of all kinds.

Besides keeping your devices up-to-date, regularly changing your passwords, using multi-factor authentication when possible and keeping IoT gadgets and appliances on a separate wi-fi network, the real estate experts from Mansion Global recommend using an automated home security product.

“For our money (and yours), the best best is the BitDefender BOX,” writes MG.

Bitdefender BOX is easy to set up and offers a one-click solution, sent directly to your smart device, to instantly boot any nefarious network types.

The magazine goes on to mention that Bitdefender BOX comes bundled with antivirus software for your devices that allow the installation of anti-malware solutions. “Better still, the BOX has your back when you venture out into the real world,” MG writes, referring to the Private Line feature that makes use of VPN technology to protect your mobile devices even when you are away from home.

Plus, it “will keep on top of the best practices we outlined above—checking the strength of your passwords and the firmware versions of your various devices, as well as identifying any other back-door methods hackers might employ to grab your info.”
