Bring in the experts: It’s time to secure your home network


You can do it yourself, but for most people, it makes better sense to pay for a network-protection service, whether offered by your Internet provider or another business. — AP

It’s no longer just about protecting the computer on which you may be working from home and the laptops the kids may be using as online school starts.
