Security News > 2020 > January > TP-Link routers get a little safer with AI-powered security features
The new features come from a partnership with security firm Avira, but they won't be free: They're part of a new package called HomeCare Pro.
At CES 2020, router manufacturer TP-Link announced new security features for its Wi-Fi 6 routers.
Powered by Avira's threat-monitoring AI, the new features are designed to closely monitor devices connected to routers, fingerprint each permitted device, and monitor traffic for anomalies.
Securing home routers is just as critical as TP-Link states, and the company has the facts to back that assertion up: Routers, its research found, made up over 75% of infected devices in IoT attacks.
A honeypot the company set up was attacked within five minutes of being connected to the internet, and nearly half of attacks against routers target default password combinations or unprotected routers.
