Email accounts are often the pathway that can provide a link to all your other valuable accounts, as well as a record of your communication with friends, families, and colleagues. As central hubs to other online services, hackers may try to obtain your passwords through social engineering scams to jump to other services. If an email account acts as a singular hub for your other services, a single compromise can snowball into the hijack of many accounts and services.

With ProtectIQ™, you will receive the internet security you need. ProtectIQ is a network-level security application that works quietly in the background and proactively keeps malicious websites, viruses, and intrusion away from your home 24×7.

Protect your email account with a strong password and encrypt your emails where possible. If your password is still somehow leaked or otherwise become known to an attacker, having two-factor authentication enabled may help to dramatically prevent improper access.
