For many, the summer is the time to relax, book a family vacation and get some sun by the pool (don’t forget your sunscreen!). When most people are tediously making their summer travel plans, they focus on door locks, alarm systemsor cameras. You’re probably not thinking about securing your Wi-Fi (like I am), but these days, just as much of our lives happens online as it does inside the house.

If your home Wi-Fi network isn’t properly and regularly secured, you could be unknowingly leaving your Wi-Fi wide open to hackers, data theft and other digital threats without realizing it. If your home network is breached, it can be accessed; that means strangers could potentially control connected devices, install malicious software or access your sensitive data, like your credit card numbers and live camera feeds.
