Cyber Protect honored by Residential Systems for outstanding innovation in smart home cybersecurity

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, September 12, 2024: Specop Secure is excited to announce that its flagship cybersecurity solution, Cyber Protect, has been awarded the Best of Show award by Residential Systems at CEDIA Expo 2024. This prestigious award recognizes the most innovative and impactful products tailored for residential integrators in the smart home industry.

The Best of Show awards are given to products that deliver exceptional value, demonstrate unique features, and provide measurable impact in the market. Cyber Protect was specifically selected for its comprehensive approach to securing smart homes, helping homeowners protect their connected devices from growing cyber threats.

Judged by Experts in Residential Integration

Cyber Protect was evaluated by a panel of experts at Residential Systems, who reviewed the product through the lens of residential integrators. The judges were impressed by Cyber Protect’s ability to seamlessly integrate into smart homes, offering cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions without complicating installation or daily use for homeowners.

“We’re honored that Cyber Protect has been recognized by Residential Systems for this award,” said Farr Shepherd, President of SpecOp Secure. “As more smart homes become targets for cyber-attacks, we’re proud to provide a solution that not only protects these homes but also simplifies the process for integrators. This award is a testament to our commitment to innovation and security.”

Why Cyber Protect Stood Out

With cyber-attacks becoming more sophisticated, Cyber Protect offers real-time threat detection, advanced encryption, and proactive vulnerability scanning. These features ensure that every connected device in a smart home—from security cameras and thermostats to voice assistants and lighting systems—stays secure from potential breaches.

“As smart homes grow more connected, the need for robust security is greater than ever,” said Ted Bremekamp, VP of Channel Development for SpecOp Secure. “Cyber Protect addresses this need head-on by providing residential integrators with a powerful tool that safeguards the privacy and safety of homeowners.”

These cyber protections have never been more important: a recent study found that, on average, there are over 100 new threats to home networks every month, with four out of five people admitting they wouldn’t even know if they had been hacked.
