How secure is a cable modem connection ?The cable modem connection itself does not provide any type of security, just connectivity. The fact that you are on-line 24/7 makes you more exposed to attacks of various sorts. Make sure you have file and printer sharing turned off (or with unguessable passwords) if you are using Windows. Additional protection in form of firewall etc. might help you as well. Check our articles section for some security articles, as well as our Security forum for additional information.
