Cujo is an anti-virus for your smart home

Internet and hackers are two things that are difficult to separate. Simply put, every time you use internet, then you are at risk to be hacked. And the problem is now we have entered the era of Internet of Things (IOT), where almost all devices in the smart home can be connected via internet.

For example, the majority of smart lock devices on the market allow users to control the devices from a distance via smartphone. Now imagine if the control of the smart lock is taken over by a hacker, certainly your home will be easily broken by the thieves.

Surely no one wants that kind of thing happens. If this happens on a computer, perhaps you can use the firewall or antivirus to protect your computer, but what about the smart home devices?

One way to protect your smart devices is by utilizing Cujo. The Cujo is a device that serves to secure the Internet network in your home; not only your computer, but also all devices that are connected via Wi-Fi. Simply put, Cujo is the firewall and antivirus for your smart home.

Cujo has a pair of Ethernet ports that can be connected to the router. Once connected, Cujo will carry out its duties without waiting for your instructions; it will block hacker attacks, malware and viruses that target your smart devices.

Whenever there is a suspicious activity on your network, Cujo will send a notification to the companion application on the smartphone. Interestingly, Cujo will also protect your smartphone and tablet as long as they are connected to a Wi-Fi network. As long as the Wi-Fi signal received comes from the router that's connected to Cujo, you will be protected.

To anticipate the development of methods that are used by the hackers, Cujo will continually be connected to the cloud and receive database updates - the same way that's applied by antivirus software. For that, Cujo requires a subscription fee of $ 9 per month or $ 89 per year.

Through the crowdfunding site, Indiegogo, Cujo can be ordered for $ 49, with a free bonus to subscribe for 9 months.
