You can now add an extra layer of protection to every connected device in your home, thanks to a clever little black box that hit the market last week.
It’s called Trend Micro Home Security and it simply plugs into your home wireless router to protect smart devices like TVs, games consoles, tablets and phones from online threats.
Another key feature of Trend Micro Home security is the parental controls that allow you to monitor and control internet access on individual devices. So you can decide for example that after 10pm there’s no more Wi-Fi access for games consoles and your child’s laptop….and it’s all done via an App on your Smartphone.
It’s one thing to add extra security to ensure your any flaws in your smart devices can’t be used to gain access to your home network and ensure no rogue devices are connected however the ability to control the access of individual devices, or groups of devices per user is a must have feature for partents. Additionally while it’s possible to block websites from being accessed on your network you may also choose to setup a monitoring rule that will notify you when certain websites are accessed.
