Practice Better Cyber Safety with NETGEAR Armor
October 23, 2020 By BlueAlly
Did you know that October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month? If you didn’t know, NCSAM was originally created to ensure resources were made available to consumers, businesses, and educational institutions so that Americans could stay safer and more secure online. October serves as a perfect opportunity to start creating healthy online habits by implementing stronger security practices, raising awareness, and learning more about cyber safety.
Here at NETGEAR, our goal is not only to keep people connected, but also to keep those who are connected safe. Whether you are working or learning from home, binge watching your new favorite show on Netflix, or building out your ideal smart home with IoT devices, there is more of a need to stay connected than ever. Even more, as the number of devices in our homes start to increase, the number of potential vulnerabilities grow as well. While it only takes one vulnerable device to potentially affect your entire home network, the good news is you can help keep your entire network secure with cyber security protection. Enter NETGEAR Armor!
With NETGEAR Armor you’ll get unlimited device protection, added privacy and security, notification of threats, and the ability to monitor your network protection level. To help celebrate NCSAM, we’re offering 35% off NETGEAR Armor for a limited time to help protect your family and your network from cyber threats. As your household continues to practice good cyber safety habits, the added protection from NETGEAR Armor can help give you peace of mind knowing that you are safe from cyber attacks at home or on-the-go!
