Comcast expands Xfinity security offerings to deepen broadband customer ties
Comcast is expanding its Xfinity home security offerings with a new platform that combines Wi-Fi-based protection with cybersecurity and family controls, as it seeks to make its broadband service stickier in a competitive market.
Comcast said on Tuesday that the platform, called Xfinity Shield, is available for Xfinity Internet customers at no additional cost, while a $15-a-month option adds an indoor camera, door and window sensor, cloud video storage and 24/7 urgent response.
The company said the average Xfinity customer now connects 36 devices to WiFi, while its network identifies, filters and blocks an average of 30 million threats each day.
