HYAS Protect At Home provides both cybersecurity’s first responders, as well as every day users, with an additional line of defense to help harden their home networks against cyberattacks.

“One of cybersecurity’s untold truths is that professionals are at sharply elevated risk of both retaliatory actions and of probes and attacks from threat actors looking to promote their tradecraft and reputation by successfully attacking a cyber expert with a known brand,” said David Ratner, CEO of HYAS. “We are honored with this award, which recognizes HYAS Protect At Home’s ability to detect and protect against malware, phishing, and other attacks and provides cybersecurity personnel free enterprise-level protection for their home networks.

“In the realm of security, innovation is essential. When judging new security products, remember that they should not just meet today’s challenges but also anticipate the threats of tomorrow,” said Ralph C. Jensen, publisher of Security Today magazine. “By taking a proactive and holistic approach to security products and technology, you can better anticipate and adapt to ongoing physical security needs in commercial and industrial settings, ensuring the safety of your assets, employees and operations. We are pleased to recognize so many outstanding new security products that are addressing these concerns.”

Phishing, malware, ransomware, and other cyberattacks are all on the rise, and exploits are continuously evolving to avoid detection by most cybersecurity solutions designed for the home – where gamers, shoppers, online community members, and other family members are often just one bad click away from unintentionally opening the door to an attacker.
