Speed, reliability, WiFi coverage. They’re probably the first things that come to mind when you think about good broadband. But with so many of our devices connected to the internet, there’s something else that matters too: security.
We’ve been a Which? Recommended Provider for broadband for six years running and won PC Pro’s Best Broadband ISP award 22 years in a row. And with eero, we can combine that award-winning broadband with what eero describes as “world-class security”.
So what does that mean?
Security that works in the background
It starts with protection built into eero itself.
eero automatically installs software updates, including the latest security fixes, so you don’t have to remember to check for new firmware yourself. It also uses encryption to help protect your network and includes controls that let you see connected devices, create profiles, pause internet access and set up a separate guest network.
All very useful. But you might be thinking “doesn’t every router do that?”.
eero is designed to reduce some of the common ways a router can be attacked in the first place. And it now includes botnet detection and prevention across its networks, helping protect connected devices that might not be able to run security software of their own.
It’s all part of a useful baseline of protection that’s included with eero, without adding another security job to your list.
Take security further with eero Secure
If you want more protection and control, eero Secure builds on those standard features.
It can scan for potential threats and vulnerabilities across your network, block ads and let you apply content filters. You’ll also get security insights to help you understand what’s happening across your network.
eero Secure is included at no extra cost with Full Fibre Max and is also available as an add-on for eero customers on other Zen packages.
More protection with eero Plus
eero Plus takes things further again, adding tools that can help protect you and your devices beyond your home network.
That includes a VPN powered by Guardian, which encrypts your internet traffic for more private browsing, and a 1Password Family membership to help you create and manage strong passwords.
You’ll also get Malwarebytes Premium for extra protection against malware and other online threats, along with internet backup options to help you stay connected if your main broadband connection goes down.
Together, that gives you protection for more than just your home network – including your devices, passwords and online activity.
