Lenovo, the world’s leading PC manufacturer, unveils fundamental shifts that will drive technology trends in 2018 and beyond.

The make-up of the modern home is changing, bringing with it a new era of household 2.0 which, on average, cares for 2.4 people, 0.3 pets and now also 6.3 connected devices per home. With devices playing such a prominent role in today’s average home, Kaspersky Lab has launched updated versions of Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Total Security, to help people care for their devices as much as they care for their pets and those living under their roofs.   

There are now more devices than people and pets in every home, and these devices are playing an ever more important role in home life, with people using them for everything from surfing the Internet, to shopping and sharing videos of cats purring. Yet, this increased connectivity brings with it safety concerns, made worse by the fact that according to the Kaspersky Cybersecurity Index, two-fifths (39%) of people are still leaving their devices unprotected from cyberthreats such as hacking, malware, financial fraud and more.
