SUWANEE, Ga., Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, ARRIS
International plc (NASDAQ:ARRS) announced the ARRIS Secure
Home Gateway portfolio, which will combine Intel™ Security's
expertise in internet security with ARRIS's leading broadband
solutions.
ARRIS's Secure Home Gateway portfolio is the first to embed the
McAfee® Secure Home Platform by Intel Security — for
powerful, seamless, and hassle-free security for all devices
connected to the network, including IoT devices (such as gaming
consoles, connected cameras, wearables, and Smart TVs and
appliances). Each gateway (cable modem & Wi-Fi® router) in the
new SURFboard® Secure Home Gateway portfolio will integrate the new
McAfee security platform directly into the device and carry the
designation: "McAfee Secure Home Internet."
ARRIS gateways with McAfee Secure Home Internet will offer
network-level security that seamlessly protects all devices
connected to the home network against emerging threats like
viruses, malware, and phishing scams. They will achieve this by
acting like a home security system, managing the flow of data
between the Internet and the home's connected devices to ensure
that users are guarded against known threats. A simple-to-use
mobile app will allow for convenient customization, enabling
consumers to easily manage their home gateway security
settings.
ARRIS's Secure Home Gateway portfolio with the McAfee Secure
Home Platform will provide several key benefits:
- Smart security: Hassle-free protection uses the cloud to
protect internet-connected devices in the home against the latest
malware and phishing and identity scams.
- Seamless app management: Access and manage features
including IoT device protection, device identification, and pausing
internet access. Receive real-time alerts about potential
vulnerabilities, new connected devices entering the home, and
more.
- Robust parental controls: Easily protect your whole
family by setting individual schedules and restrictions for every
device and user in your home.
"ARRIS's new Secure Home Gateway portfolio embodies our
commitment to delivering leading broadband and Wi-Fi performance
with seamless security for today's connected home," said
Sandy Howe, SVP and GM, Consumer
Products Group at ARRIS. "Our gateways with McAfee Secure Home
Internet will act like a home security system for your connected
devices. They combine our industry-leading technology with the
latest McAfee security to deliver powerful, network-level
protection that guards your family, your devices, and your data
against the latest Internet threats, while delivering the next era
of broadband and entertainment experiences."
"We live in a time where consumers are constantly connecting new
devices in their home to the internet. With this unprecedented
connectivity comes increased risk," said John Giamatteo, CVP and GM at Intel Security.
"It's more important than ever to ensure consumers have proper
security controls in place to enjoy the benefits of this new
connected technology while minimizing the risk. ARRIS shares our
vision of protecting consumers in the connected home, and the
inclusion of the McAfee Secure Home Platform in their gateway
portfolio delivers on this vision."
The ARRIS SURFboard SBG7580-AC will be the first device to embed
the McAfee Secure Home Platform. The SURFboard SBG7580-AC with
McAfee Secure Home Internet is expected to become available around
the first half of 2017 at Amazon, Best Buy (in-store and online),
and Surfboard.com. Consumers will be able to simply activate the
McAfee security through an online app ("ARRIS McAfee Secure Home
Internet") that will be available in the Google Play and Apple App
Store. ARRIS will announce pricing for McAfee Secure Home Internet
at launch.
Future ARRIS broadband devices will also feature this embedded
security—adding to the portfolio of Secure Home Gateway solutions.
To extend McAfee Secure Home Internet's network-level security
benefits beyond the home Wi-Fi network, consumers can use popular
device-level security products such as McAfee Live Safe™.
ARRIS will demonstrate the SBG7580-AC with McAfee Secure Home
Internet at CES in its private suite.
