"With this influx of devices comes an influx of cybersecurity risk. Now more than ever, consumers need to prioritize keeping their connected devices, and the people who use them, safe from cyber threats."

The Xfinity Cyber Health Report analyzes cyber threat trends, the growing list of devices in connected homes, and a view into consumers' attitudes and behaviors around cyber protection.

Xfinity xFi homes average 15 connected devices, up 25% from 2020.

58% of consumers plan to buy at least one connected device this holiday season.

77% of Millennials are likely to buy a connected device this holiday season, the most for any segment surveyed.
