Ever get bothered when someone uses your stuff without asking? That is what happens when your device is hijacked to a botnet.

Botnets, or robot networks, are used in various scams and large attacks to steal data, crash servers, and wreak havoc. Several thousand devices can be used simultaneously on attacks.

Devices, as in everything that connects to the Internet: computers, routers, servers, vehicles with Bluetooth, Smart homes including appliances, televisions, security cameras, wearables, cellphones, and the list goes on.

It is important to understand that a botnet can be used for many types of attacks that strike quickly or linger for long term. Proper protection and management solutions are available to businesses and suited for your needs.
