Overview

Your home is now the digital center of your world, and even if you go to an office every day, you have more options to help you manage everything from shopping lists to email accounts. Unfortunately, many new devices your family connects to your WiFi can create security risks and may make remote work and school less secure. For example, tracking devices and services can help parents monitor children and seniors, but outsiders can use the same tools to stalk their loved ones digitally. This session will help you learn about devices, services, and app suites for families, share files, organize photos, manage passwords, and keep your home secure. Attend this breakout and learn about innovative new tools to help you stay safe and make the most of your time away from the office.

  • List at least one of the services mentioned to help your family stay in touch and manage a shared calendar
  • Identify at least two key features and settings needed in your home’s wireless router
  • Name at least two services to help you take better advantage of your entertainment service subscriptions

Highlights

  • Configuring your router and network to make it more secure
