Earlier this year, the public discovered that Ring (the home-security and smart-home company owned by Amazon) had provided every single one of their employees and Ukraine based third-party contractors with access to the video footage of their customers (all were unencrypted and stored on Ring’s network. And even though they were aware of the security lapses, they (Ring) also failed to control or prevent multiple types of cyber attacks. The footage also included interior cameras in bedrooms of children. The fallout was catastrophic!
The recent litigation against Ring shines a spotlight on how improving network security affects public safety.
This begs the question, if the big companies and corporations are failing to provide adequate security measures… who is protecting the little guys?
Security as a Network Necessity
In an ever evolving digital climate, the need for cybersecurity has become an issue of paramount importance. Statistically speaking, in the time that it would take to read this article, at LEAST 2 people have been successfully attacked online, leaving their personal and financial information vulnerable to exploitation. So, it’s concerning, but not surprising that 90% of Americans are worried about being hacked. These concerns are constantly validated by the 2,200 people that are being hacked on a daily basis .
9 out of 10 people are worried about being hacked and at least 3 out of 10 experience it EVERY YEAR!
In 2020, the pandemic ushered in an era of unprecedented identity theft. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, cybercrime is slated to create up to an annual global cost of $10.5 Trillion. To put that number in perspective, The United States has a GDP of $23.3 Trillion.
Cybercrimes have increased so significantly, the need for network security is no longer an insurance policy… it’s a necessity!

I respectfully submit that this provides the opposite of a Home WiFi solution, in that the feature set isolating my devices from one another is precisely, diametrically opposed to the reasons I pay for internet service in my home, to have a functioning personal network.
Thank you for your insightful comment regarding our UserSafe technology and its role in network security for managed Wi-Fi solutions.
It’s important to note that our focus is on providing managed Wi-Fi services for multi-dwelling units (MDUs), commercial spaces, hospitality venues, and other amenity-based locations. In these environments, the security and privacy of each individual user are paramount. UserSafe technology is specifically designed to meet these needs by isolating users from one another. This ensures that all users on the network, who are often unrelated and unknown to each other, can enjoy a secure and private internet experience.
In MDUs and commercial settings, the risk of cyber threats is significantly higher due to the large and diverse number of users. UserSafe acts as a vital layer of security to protect against potential intrusions that could compromise personal information and the integrity of the network.
While we understand that this approach might differ from a traditional home Wi-Fi setup, where device interconnectivity is often desired, our services are tailored to the unique challenges and security requirements of shared network environments. Our solutions, including CellBoost and RadioBoost, are designed to enhance connectivity and coverage while maintaining the highest standards of network security.
We are committed to delivering high-quality, secure, and reliable Wi-Fi solutions that cater to the specific needs of MDUs, commercial spaces, and hospitality venues. If you have any specific requirements or questions about how our services can be tailored to suit your particular setting, we encourage you to contact us for a more detailed discussion.
Thank you again for your engagement and interest in our services. We value your input as we continue to refine and improve our Wi-Fi solutions.
