My current situation is that i'm playing a rigger, in a game that is starting up soon. Our entire group, myself included, is very new to shadowrun(we are taking a break from DnD) and my main concern now that I have the character fully statted out is, how do I keep my drones on my side? From what I've read it seems ridiculously easy for hacker to hack into my drones, and jump in or spoof commands at them all day long.

As such I'm looking for a way that is well established and obviously within the rules to make it harder(not impossible because then my GM will find a way to kill me) to hack them.
