Threat Analysis and Definitions
When a cybercriminal manages to compromise an IoT device, they are able to get access to your private data. For example, a hacked baby monitor allows hackers to eavesdrop on you talking to your children, security cameras let hackers peek around your home whenever they want, routers reveal web connections, and printers can expose your documents.
NETGEAR Armor regularly scans all of your computers, phones, and IoT devices for potential security risks. Armor identifies vulnerabilities such as weak passwords, default credentials, known firmware bugs, and open ports.
