Why is online privacy important?

As we rely on internet-enabled products and services more and more, the sheer amount of data that exists on the internet and on cloud-based applications is steadily increasing. It’s now more lucrative than ever to profit off this data or use it as leverage to extort large corporations.

The number of global IoT devices has also been forecast to reach 18 billion by this year. This will create a staggering number of potential access points for cybercriminals to infiltrate your home Wi-Fi network and other digital systems. What’s more, 98% of all IoT device traffic is unencrypted, posing the risk of exposing any personal and sensitive data on the network.

It’s now more important than ever to safeguard your online privacy.
