Network security for every device on your home network. All run from one app.

Blocks Known Threats

ProtectIQ scans for known malicious sites and threats at the router and blocks them before they reach a device. Think of it as a layer over everything connected at home: the TV, the cameras, the tablets.

Covers Every Device

Antivirus only runs on the one laptop you install it on. ProtectIQ reaches every device on your network, wired and wireless, including smart TVs, cameras, and tablets that can’t run antivirus at all.

Always On

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when you’re asleep or away. When ProtectIQ blocks something, the CommandIQ app shows what it was and which device it came from. You can see it working.

Protection for Everything on Your Network

Your laptop’s antivirus doesn’t reach your kid’s tablet, your doorbell camera, or your thermostat. ProtectIQ runs at the router, so every connected device gets the same protection automatically.

Common questions about ProtectIQ home network security.

Will ProtectIQ slow down my internet?

No. Scanning happens at the router on hardware built for gigabit speeds. Most customers say their WiFi feels smoother because junk traffic gets filtered before it reaches their devices.

Do I still need antivirus on my laptop?

Antivirus still helps for threats that arrive over USB, email, or public WiFi. ProtectIQ adds a layer at home that also covers the devices that cannot run antivirus. They work together.

Does it cover devices on Ethernet?

Yes. ProtectIQ runs at the router, so anything going through your SC Broadband internet is covered, wired or wireless.

What can SC Broadband see?

ProtectIQ blocks known threats automatically. We don’t monitor, store, or sell your browsing data. The CommandIQ app shows you what got blocked. The information stays with you.

What kinds of threats does it stop?

Viruses, ransomware, and malicious or phishing sites, plus intrusion attempts from outside. ProtectIQ checks traffic against a constantly updated threat database and blocks matches before they land.
