Firewall & Parental Control

Description:

HKBN teamed up with cybersecurity solutions partner, Trend Micro, to bring enterprise-level network security into homes. As a result, Home Gateway delivers a new paradigm in protection for all devices connected to the home network (beyond just computers and mobile phones, more and more smart devices such as network-connected cameras, sensors, and even smart door locks), and helps parents flexibly manage and monitor children’s online activities.

“HKBN HomeGuard - Network Security” detects, analyses, and protects against external attacks and malicious network activities, blocks unsafe websites and files. The advanced deep pack inspection (DPI) technology offers 3-tier protection against common attacks and network intrusions for all devices connected to Home Gateway. To guard against latest cyberattacks, Trend Micro will regularly update the latest lists of dangerous websites and malwares in its system.

Through “HKBN HomeGuard - Parental Control”, parents now can easily manage and restrict a child’s Internet activity. The service allows parents to effectively block access to specific categories of websites, set time limits for going online, and much more. Even while parents are away from home, they can stay informed of their children’s internet activity through automated notifications and other reporting features on this mobile app.
