# What does "always on, 24/7" mean?

Once protection is active it runs continuously in the background. You do not have to re-arm it each day or remember to switch it on. Your status shows that it is live and how many devices are covered, so there is never any doubt about whether you are actually protected.

## Specifics

- Continuous protection is different from a session: it is the floor, not the sprint.
- The device count on your status screen is the quickest way to spot an unsynced device.
