What features does eero secure include?
Whether you live on your own, with friends or with family, eero secure brings features everyone can benefit from:
Advanced network security
The advanced threat protection, included with your eero, safeguards your devices by preventing access to websites that may harbour viruses, phishing attacks, malware, and other perilous threats.
Adblocking
If you’re not a fan of pop-up ads and other types of online advertisements, you’ll undoubtedly appreciate the benefits of eero’s ad-blocking feature. This powerful functionality effectively blocks ads that typically appear on websites and apps across your computer and mobile devices.
Block and allow websites
This feature is great if you want to control what other users on your home network can and can’t see. For example, with the ability to customise and assign specific websites, you can ensure that younger family members can only access approved sites and not restricted ones.
SafeSearch
When this is enabled, you can filter out specific words and malicious search results on search engines and YouTube. SafeSearch helps reduce the risks of stumbling across malicious or adult content on the web.
Content Filters
Parents can keep their kids safe from entering sites with adult content, illegal/criminal content, and violence. The content filtering offers a variety of customisation including pre-defined filter levels and in-depth monitoring, allowing you to see how well the content filtering is working.
eero Activity Center
You can monitor everything from a glance with eero. You can track your network activity by utilising the eero Activity Center. This will provide you with network insights, security insights, privacy and safety insights, and data usage. You can also stay updated with all of these through a weekly activity report.
How does eero secure help?
eero Secure can make a positive impact on your browsing experience online. Keeping you secure and helping you avoid harmful content are just a few of the benefits it brings.
Filter out harmful content
Filtering out harmful content online helps to protect vulnerable individuals, especially children, from being exposed to inappropriate or harmful material. By blocking access to adult content, violent imagery, and other explicit material, content filtering ensures a safer online environment for users of all ages. Additionally, filtering out harmful content helps to prevent the spread of misinformation and fake news, promoting responsible and accurate information consumption. By restricting access to unreliable sources and malicious websites, content filtering contributes to a more informed and trustworthy online experience.
Keep an eye on network activity
We all want our networks to be safe from hackers and unauthorised access. Eero Secure’s network activity monitoring feature keeps an eye out for any strange or suspicious activity on your network. If it detects anything fishy, it alerts you right away, so you can take action to protect your network and all the devices connected to it. It’s like having a virtual security guard for your network.
Network monitoring also helps you optimise your network’s performance. It looks at things like how your bandwidth is being used and how traffic flows through your network. By analysing these patterns, it can identify areas where your network might be slow or congested. Armed with this knowledge, you can make informed decisions to improve your network’s efficiency and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Reduce online threats
Eero Secure’s intelligent threat protection provides valuable assistance in mitigating online threats that constantly lurk in the ever-expanding web. While we explore the vast online landscape, numerous advanced risks, such as malware, trojans, and hackers, seek to exploit our personal information and compromise the security of our devices. Wi-Fi security solutions like Eero Secure act as a shield, actively safeguarding our network and thwarting these malicious attempts.
