"The proliferation of connected devices brings a new level of complexity and risk for consumers," observes Brad Russell, Research Director for Connected Home at Parks Associates. "While manufacturers' warranties provide a minimum level of protection, AmTrust's new TapSafe platform will help consumers manage protection and support for all of their devices in one convenient app. On average, 34% of smart home device owners reported problems with a device in 2017 compared with 28% in 2016."
