Check Point Software Technologies Ltd, a global provider of cybersecurity solutions, presents seven ways to prevent hackers out of your smart home gadgets. In today's increasingly connected world, it's difficult to find a home that doesn't contain some form of smart gadget.

These devices are here to stay, whether it's a speaker that can also create a shopping list, a doorbell with a fully functional camera, or a smoke alarm that links straight to your mobile phone to remind you to change those batteries.
