How Eltrona protects your home cybersecurity and fiber connection in Luxembourg

Why is home cybersecurity becoming essential?

An increase in cyberattacks at home

Connected homes are becoming increasingly common, and with them come risks: home automation devices, consoles, computers, smartphones… everything is susceptible to exploitation. A 2022 study found that the main dangers in smart homes are data privacy breaches, false authentication, and unauthorised access to systems. (arxiv.org)

In Luxembourg, the national ecosystem recognises cybersecurity as a strategic issue, with an estimated internet resilience score of 71% (according to the Internet Society) and a strong commitment to protecting infrastructure.

For a family, this means: a child who surfs the web without fear, a shared connection without fear of intrusion, and protected personal data.

What is meant by domestic cybersecurity?

Home cybersecurity encompasses:

• protection of the home internet network (modem, Wi-Fi, router)
• securing connected equipment
• the confidentiality of each family member’s data
• Defence against phishing, ransomware, camera hacks, or connected speaker hacks A healthy digital landscape for the family requires a proactive approach.

Luxembourg fibre and Eltrona infrastructure

Solid fibre coverage in the Grand Duchy

Eltrona offers fibre speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s and claims to cover up to 85% of Luxembourg. This speed is essential, but without security, performance remains fragile.

Why a home network is an asset

The fact that Eltrona has its own network (converted coaxial network, direct fibre) improves the reliability and control of the equipment. For the family, this means fewer breakdowns, fewer entry points for hackers, and rapid intervention if necessary.

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

Eltrona includes the modem in the offer and guarantees quick installation (less than 6 days).

But above all, the equipment is configured with security standards (modified admin access, protected Wi-Fi, automatic updates), which reduces vulnerabilities for families.

Three pillars of differentiation Family safety with Eltrona

Data privacy

In Luxembourg, the national cybersecurity strategy emphasises that protecting information systems is a cornerstone of trust. Eltrona is committed to this approach: customer data is processed by a local infrastructure, with a clear commitment to privacy. For families: your bills, internet usage and TV options are not used for any other purposes.

Active security for connected equipment and objects

Connected objects increase the attack surface at home. An article reminds us that “connecting home automation devices allows malicious actors to gain physical control of the home or access sensitive data.”

Eltrona addresses this challenge by ensuring that:

• the network is segmented (family internet vs. IoT)
• the modem box is updated automatically
• Assistance is available to set up guest Wi-Fi and block unauthorised access.

Support, local assistance and visibility for parents

One of Eltrona’s strengths is its local support: a qualified team, quick installation, and accessible customer service.

For a family, this means: no technical jargon, just straightforward help!

Practical tips to strengthen your home cybersecurity

Configure your box correctly

• Change the default admin password immediately after installation.
• Enable: WPA3 or at least WPA2 for Wi-Fi.
• Create a guest network for visitors or connected devices.

Protect your children’s devices

• Activate parental controls and limit screen time to certain hours.
• Teach them how to spot phishing attempts (e.g., fake messages from ‘Netflix’ or ‘the bank’).

Secure connected objects

• Limit the number of unnecessary connected objects.
• Regularly update firmware and applications.
• Check that the webcam or microphone on the device can be disabled.

Back up and encrypt your data

• Use a cloud backup service or an external drive.
• Enable encryption on your computer/tablet.

Be mindful of everyday habits

• Be wary of suspicious emails.
• Do not use public Wi-Fi for sensitive operations.
• Ensure that system updates are automatic.

These best practices, combined with Eltrona’s infrastructure and service, provide your family with a secure digital environment.
