Tatyana1 -- Thank you for reaching out. The xFi Advanced Security feature is now included with your Gateway and is rolling out to customers with compatible Gateways over the next few weeks.
When logging into xFi recently, you should have seen a What's New screen with some information about this.

You can always chose to enable the feature and see how it works for you.
With the feature enabled, whenever a threat is detected, it’s automatically blocked and you are notified in xFi and given tips on how to resolve. You can also choose to enable push notifications for threats. For certain threat types, you can opt to allow access for a certain period of time. (Keep in mind that by doing so, you may be putting your network at risk and making it vulnerable to malicious activity.)
You retain the ability to enable and disable the feature yourself. Here is another article with additional information about threat types and how to enable/disable the feature --
