Kinetic Secure Winning Streak Continues

“We’re delighted to receive this award from the Broadband World Forum,” said Kristian Järnefelt, Executive Vice President, Consumer Security at F-Secure. “The success of Kinetic Secure shows what we can accomplish by working together to deliver innovative solutions that solve people’s problems. Thanks to the work done by Windstream, F-Secure, and Actiontec, individuals and families can enjoy fast, reliable internet for their connected homes while protecting themselves from online threats.”

Utilizing Actiontec’s Optim Managed Service Assurance Platform and F-Secure SENSE connected home cyber security solution, Windstream’s Kinetic Secure provides endpoint protection and gateway-level cyber security for devices while they’re at home or on the move. Additional functionality, including parental controls and mobile device management, is integrated into the managed Wi-Fi service through the MyWIN app.

Kinetic Secure’s winning streak began with the 2020 Marketing Partnership Best in Class Award from Broadband Multimedia Marketing Association and continued with Best Consumer Deployment at the IoT World Awards. It's also on the shortlist for Consumer IoT Initiative of the Year at the 2020 Global Telecoms Awards and the Leading Lights "Most Innovative IoT/M2M 2020 Award."

“It’s very exciting and gratifying that industry experts have recognized Kinetic Secure as a leader in the space,” said Joe Johnson, vice president of Kinetic Product Development and Management. “But more importantly, our customers tell us that Kinetic Secure gives them peace of mind and control.”

“Actiontec is thrilled that the Broadband World Forum recognizes what this partnership achieved with Kinetic Secure,” said Michael Gondar, Director of Strategic Accounts for Actiontec. “The security features are integrated right into our wireless gateway firmware and can be automatically activated, making the whole process of securing the IoT for consumers painless.”
