What is Cujo?

WHAT IS CUJO?
 
 
CUJO is the Smart Internet Firewall Device for your entire Home!
 
 
How CUJO Secures My Home?
 
CUJO analyzes your local network traffic data locally and in real time. It then sends statistics on that data to the cloud for further analysis. For your privacy as well as performance reasons, we don’t send the contents of those packets to the cloud. If a threat or suspicious activity is detected, CUJO will tell the cloud what it has blocked so you can receive a notification on your mobile app to confirm it.
 
 
Our Mobile App
 
Through CUJO’s mobile app you can…
  • Control and monitor all devices on your network
  • Receive instant threat notifications
  • Control Internet access for select devices.
In addition, you can manually override any blocks automated by CUJO so you’re in full control all the time.


Why You Need CUJO?

Traditionally, PC security software, like antivirus or antimalware, is designed to only protect you the device it’s installed on. With so many connected devices in your home, you and your family’s personal lives are now on display through the networked home gadgets you have. Once connected to your router, CUJO smart firewall protects your entire home from nosy and unwanted intrusions.
 
 
Traditional Approach
 
Anti-virus and anti-malware software that you have on your PC mostly fails to protect you against hacks. Virtual criminals penetrate your network using vulnerabilities found in your router and your connected devices. Once they are in the network, traditional security software is mostly incapable to keep your information secure. One rogue device exposes your entire network, including the PC that has traditional security software installed.
 
 
Our Approach 
 
CUJO creates a guarded gateway between your devices and their connection to the Internet. We analyze packets for malicious intent right there on the CUJO whether it’s coming in from the Internet, going out to the Internet, or making moves across your network. CUJO applies IP/DNS Threat Intelligence, Behavioral Analysis using machine learning, Unauthorized Remote Access detection, Command & Control detection, and other security methods. When we catch something we send packet statistics (but not full packets) to the Cujo Cloud to analyze device behavior and make sure every other CUJO is aware of this kind of attack. We guard every single connected device on your network, not just your PC. Unlike traditional solutions, CUJO keeps improving all the time to protect your home.
