Home Network Defender (HND) powered by Trend Micro is designed to protect you and your family against cybercriminals and online predators by stopping threats before they get into your home network.

Unlike today’s security solutions which require bulky software on each PC and device, your Linksys by Cisco router with HND provides a blanket of protection for your entire home network. HND provides a first line of defense by stopping web threats at the router layer – before the threat can reach your home devices. This enhanced protection increases your productivity (by freeing up PC resources) and gives you increased manageability of your PCs, online game consoles, and other connected devices.

Safe Web Surfing is designed to keep you and your family from being directed to malicious content or masquerading web pages that may steal your personal information.

A Parental Control management console helps ensure that family members view only appropriate content. HND also includes a comprehensive reporting feature so you know what content is being viewed by whom.

With Home Network Defender, you and your family can enjoy the Internet knowing that your Linksys by Cisco router and Trend Micro technology are working hard to keep you safe.

• Simple, Easy

  With Internet security software housed directly on the router, there is no need to install it separately on each PC or device. EasyLink Advisor (LELA) assists in setup by allowing you to simply click on a graphical icon of the device and provide the desired settings.

• Safe Web Surfing

  Helps safeguard your home network, personal identity and online activities from the latest Internet threats. Continuous, real-time updates identify the latest risky Web sites--and even legitimate ones that contain threats. This is especially effective for game consoles with Internet browsers that on their own may have weak Internet security.

• Parental Controls

  Helps family members view appropriate Web site content based on a customized rules set, and can even restrict access at specific times. Unlike other products, Home Network Defender acts at the router level, outsmarting even the most tech-savvy kids from altering controls on their PCs while helping to protect Internet users from inadvertently visiting compromising sites or revealing personal information to predators who operate over the Web.

• Anti-Virus Included

  Includes four (4) licenses of Trend Micro™ AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware to complement the Internet security protection on the routers, providing a true multi-layer protection solution.

• Network Activity Reports

  Allows parents or network administrators to monitor potential violation or activities; prompting instant detection and prevention of intruding devices on the home or small-business network. Network reports can be viewed from anywhere in the world.

• No-Risk 30-Day Free Trial

  Included with purchase of selected routers.
