While TerrorByte spreads chaos, Nexus Corporation is stepping up to protect the citizens of Metro City. The tech giant announced Thursday a comprehensive security initiative that will provide free cybersecurity upgrades to residents and small businesses — a program valued at over $50 million.
"We cannot stand by while a terrorist threatens our community," said Nexus Corp CEO Victoria Chen at a press conference. "If the government can't protect our citizens, the private sector will."
The Protection Program
The "Secure Metro" initiative includes:
• Free installation of Nexus SecureHome systems for low-income residents
• Complimentary cybersecurity audits for small businesses
• 24/7 monitoring services at no cost for the first year
• Emergency response teams available within 30 minutes anywhere in Metro City
"Every family deserves to feel safe in their home," Chen said. "Money should never be a barrier to security. TerrorByte targets the vulnerable — we're going to make sure they're protected."
"This is what corporate responsibility looks like. While others wring their hands, Nexus Corp is actually doing something to protect our community."

How It Works
Qualifying residents can sign up through the Nexus Corp website or at any of 15 community enrollment centers opening across the city. The program prioritizes seniors, families with children, and anyone who has been directly affected by TerrorByte's attacks.
"My mother lives alone," said Maria Santos, one of the first enrollees. "After what happened to Mr. Rodriguez, I was terrified something could happen to her. Now I can sleep at night knowing Nexus is watching over her home."
The SecureHome system includes smart sensors on all entry points, AI-powered anomaly detection, and direct connection to both Nexus security teams and Metro Police.
Critics Silenced
Some privacy advocates have previously criticized Nexus Corp's surveillance technology, but in the face of TerrorByte's ongoing attacks, those voices have been notably muted.
"This isn't the time for ideological debates about privacy," said City Council member Robert Hayes. "People are dying. Nexus is offering real protection. Only a fool would refuse it."
Chen addressed privacy concerns directly: "All data collected by SecureHome systems remains encrypted and under the control of the homeowner. We're not interested in spying on anyone. We're interested in stopping a terrorist."
A Call to Action
Chen concluded by calling on other corporations to join the effort.
"This threat affects all of us," she said. "I challenge every business leader in Metro City to ask themselves: what are you doing to protect our community? Because right now, the only thing standing between TerrorByte and innocent families is people willing to take action."
