Home Networks, Real Threats: How Secure Is Your Smart Home?

Smart homes offer luxury and convenience, but they also open the door to unique cyber risks. For high-net-worth individuals, the security of your home network isn’t just about avoiding inconvenience—it’s about protecting your privacy, assets, and family.

What Makes Smart Homes Vulnerable?
From voice assistants and smart TVs to security systems and lightbulbs, each device can become a point of entry for hackers. Many are not designed with strong security, and homeowners often overlook them when thinking about digital threats.

Common Risks:
- Weak or default passwords on smart devices
- Devices connecting to unsegmented home networks
- Lack of firmware updates and vulnerability patches
- Remote access features without strong authentication

Real-World Threats Include:
- Spying via smart cameras or voice assistants
- Unlocking smart locks remotely
- Mapping family routines and travel habits through connected devices
