Ranks reward you for your presence in community and the contributions that you make. They let other community members know more about you, how active you are, and where your expertise lies.    The idea is, the more you contribute ideas, help others, and share your voice, the higher rank you’ll get. Makes sense, right?   Here are the Webroot Community Ranks (in order):   New Member Member New Voice Frequent Voice Community Guide Sr. Community Guide Community Leader Sr. Community Leader Expert Advisor Sr. Expert Advisor Bronze VIP Silver VIP Gold VIP   Your rank is indicated by the icon next to your name. For example, the rank of New Voice is signified by a microphone icon. Each time your rank changes, we’ll send you a message so you’ll know right away.

Community "read-only" mode scheduled for next week Starting next week, we’re thrilled to announce that the Webroot Community will be transitioning to a new platform with all sorts of feature enhancements. If you missed our previous announcement, you can read about it here.     The new community is set to launch mid to late next, and as such, we will need to place this Community into a "read-only" status.   During this time, you will not be able to make posts, edits, send messages, or anything beyond viewing pages that already exist. Our goal is to make this happen as quickly as possible, so please bear with us as we finish up the migration process.   Once this is complete, we will update you with guides and articles so you can clai

The Webroot Community will be changing next week and we wanted to make sure you know what's coming up. Check out the announcement post here, and note that the community will be placed in "read only" mode starting this Sunday to allow us to transition to the new platform.   The most significant change for you is that we will be pulling the home, business, and developer communities into one central community. All of the forums will remain the same, any bookmarks you have will remain in place, and all of the previous content will not change. We will be posting useful information on how to navigate the new structure and are always open to suggestions and ideas.   Keep an eye on the Community for additional updates next week!

  Megan Johnson, Communcations Manager, put together a great 2019 trend piece on the Webroot blog today that I thought I'd share. What are you watching out for in 2019? What are your predictions?   The cybersecurity landscape is in constant flux, keeping our team busy researching the newest threats to keep our customers safe.

David Dufour, VP of Engineering & Cybersecurity at Webroot, warns that when it comes to IoT devices a combination of specific security approaches with legislative restrictions are needed to ensure that these devices and our information is secure.    Read more on InfoSecurity Magazine.    IoT is still in its security infancy and the array of new (debatably useful) connected devices available, such as the smart toaster that prints the weather on your bread, creates a larger attack surface to defend, which when compromised could grant an attacker access to sensitive and valuable data. Physical security of these devices is also often overlooked; whether it’s a smalle

Gary Hayslip, Webroot CISO, talked about what sort of.gifts he's looking forward to most this holiday season on https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2018/12/13/these-are-the-gadgets-tech-experts-are-hoping-for-this-holiday-season/#34fd59392697 .    I want home automation technologies. I think I will start with the Ring doorbell and then an Alexa so I can use it to manage my calendar. I am looking at them because last year at AWS re:Invent I was able to see an Amazon automated house and I was fascinated with the possibilities. Of course, once I install these devices I want to explore how they can be hacked. Always look at the evil side.   More on Forbes
