1. A method for establishing an enhanced security communication network, the method comprising:
establishing, in a home communication network, an enhanced security communication network, the enhanced security communication network being segmented from the home communication network;
determining, by a risk assessment computer system, a first set of devices on the enhanced security communication network and a second set of devices on the home communication network,
wherein the risk assessment computer system forms part of the enhanced security communication network and the home communication network and enables a first network connection between the first set of devices and a cloud-based node via the enhanced security communication network and enables a second network connection between the second set of devices and an internet;
receiving, by the risk assessment computer system, headers of data packets transmitted through the enhanced security communication network;
correlating the headers of data packets with risk assessment indicators;
providing, by the risk assessment computer system, a risk score based on the risk assessment indicators correlated with the headers of data packets; and
initiating an authentication action in respect of a device in the first set of devices and based on the risk score.
