How Eltrona protects your home cybersecurity and fiber connection in Luxembourg

Why home cybersecurity has become essential

A rise in home cyberattacks

Connected homes are multiplying — and so are the risks. Smart devices, game consoles, laptops, and smartphones can all become entry points for attackers. A 2022 study found that within “smart homes,” the main risks are data privacy breaches, fake authentications, and unauthorized system access (arxiv.org).

In Luxembourg, cybersecurity is recognized as a strategic priority. The country’s internet resilience score reaches 71% (Internet Society) — reflecting strong national efforts to protect digital infrastructure.

For families, this means: children who can browse safely, shared connections without fear of intrusion, and personal data that stays private.

What does “home cybersecurity” mean?

Home cybersecurity covers:

• protecting your home internet network (box, Wi-Fi, router)
• securing all connected devices
• safeguarding each family member’s personal data
• defending against phishing, ransomware, and smart device hacks

A safe digital environment for your family requires a proactive approach.

Fiber in Luxembourg and the Eltrona infrastructure

Strong fiber coverage across Luxembourg

Eltrona offers fiber connections up to 1 Gbit/s, with coverage reaching around 85% of Luxembourg. Speed is important — but without security, performance remains fragile.

Why a locally owned network matters

Because Eltrona owns and operates its own infrastructure (modernized coaxial and direct fiber network), reliability and control are greatly improved. For families, this means fewer outages, fewer potential entry points for hackers, and faster local support if needed.

Security from the ground up: modem, box, and Wi-Fi

Every Eltrona plan includes a modem, installed within six days on average.

More importantly, all hardware is pre-configured with security standards: admin credentials changed, Wi-Fi secured, automatic updates enabled — reducing vulnerabilities from day one.

The three pillars of Eltrona’s family-focused security

1. Data privacy

In Luxembourg, the national cybersecurity strategy highlights data protection as a core pillar of digital trust. Eltrona aligns with this approach: customer data is processed within local infrastructure, under strict privacy standards.

For families, that means your bills, internet usage, and TV options are not shared or exploited for commercial purposes.

2. Securing devices and connected objects

The more connected devices you have, the greater the attack surface. As experts note, “smart home connectivity can allow malicious actors to gain physical control of a home or access sensitive information.”

Eltrona addresses these challenges by ensuring that:

• the home network is segmented (family internet vs. IoT)
• the modem and box are automatically updated
• local support is available to configure guest Wi-Fi and block unauthorized access

3. Local support and peace of mind for parents

One of Eltrona’s greatest strengths is its local assistance: qualified teams, quick installation, and an accessible helpdesk.

For families, that means no complex jargon — just clear, friendly support.

Practical tips to strengthen your home cybersecurity

Configure your box properly

• Change the default admin password immediately.
• Enable WPA3 (or at least WPA2) for Wi-Fi.
• Create a separate guest network for visitors and IoT devices.

Protect your children’s devices

• Enable parental controls and set time limits.
• Teach them to recognize phishing attempts (e.g. fake “Netflix” or “bank” messages).

Secure your connected devices

• Limit unnecessary connected gadgets.
• Keep firmware and apps updated.
• Disable webcams or microphones when not needed.

Back up and encrypt your data

• Use a cloud backup or external hard drive.
