Adware and malware. Viruses. Information breaches. Missing network security controls. Nosey neighbors. These are some of the risks home networks face every day. Scott Smith, manager of IT support for a multinational financial firm, brings more than 25 years of industry experience in discussing how to harden home networks through solutions that many consumers already own. He will demonstrate how to use popular built-in router features to help protect the home network — and the data it stores. Scott will also cover security controls of popular consumer operating systems, how consumers can become more educated on cybersecurity threats, and how to educate children about safely using the Internet.
