Cyberattacks in the connected home are a growing consumer
concern. A recent McAfee study** revealed that 81 percent of
consumers think it's important that their online identity and
internet-connected devices are secure. As consumers install
increasing numbers of connected devices into their home, savvy
cybercriminals have morphed their focus to those new devices,
knowing that many consumers fail to take the proper security
precautions to protect themselves. Today, any device that connects
to the internet is a potential target if not properly secured. This
is why ARRIS partnered with McAfee, a leading independent
cybersecurity company, to enable best-in-class security at the
point where data flows in and out of the home.
Product Highlights
- Ultimate Performance: Capable of blazing-fast gigabit
speeds, the SBG7580-AC features a DOCSIS® 3.0 modem, 802.11ac Wi-Fi
router and 4-port gigabit Ethernet hub in one product, making it
ideal for whole families, avid streamers and downloaders, plus
gamers who need a fast and reliable connection.
- Connect and Protect – One Product and Protection For Your
Devices: The SBG7580-AC has ARRIS Secure Home Internet by
McAfee protection built right into the gateway, which means no
additional software to install. As the entry point for the internet
into the home, the SBG7580-AC can protect the devices connected to
your network, by helping to stop malware, phishing, and more from
reaching a connected device***, including your internet-connected
appliances and products like smart thermostats, speakers and
cameras.

recent study from McAfee, 80 percent of parents are concerned with
their children's online interactions. Thankfully, with the
SBG7580-AC with ARRIS Secure Home Internet by McAfee®, it's never
been easier or simpler to help protect your whole family from
potential online threats.With automatic device discovery and
profiling, there's minimal setup and no additional software
installation required.The SBG7580-AC also offers comprehensive
parental controls, allowing consumers to set custom access and
controls by user and device profile, block children from accessing
inappropriate content and pause internet access for a specific
device or the whole network.
- Savings: The SBG7580-AC eliminates monthly modem rental
fees from internet providers, which can save as much as
$120 a year. It also comes with three
years of ARRIS Secure Home Internet by McAfee protection for free,
an approximate $240**** savings.

with your gateway. To extend the security benefits beyond your home
network, all owners receive McAfee LiveSafe™ software, which
provides antivirus, identity and privacy protection, free for
