Many homeowners believe cybercriminals have little interest in residential networks because they are "not important enough" to become targets. The reality is that today's threats are overwhelmingly automated, opportunistic in nature, and focused on vulnerable devices rather than specific individuals or organizations. This session examines how modern cyberattacks actually occur, why connected homes have become increasingly attractive attack surfaces, and what integrators can do to reduce risk through sound network architecture, thoughtful design, and cybersecurity best practices tailored to residential environments. Using real-world examples and practical guidance, attendees will gain the knowledge and confidence to explain the value of secure network design while helping clients understand that cybersecurity is about protecting the connected home—not creating unnecessary fear.
