CUJO Smarthome Defender For The Technologically Inclined

We have smartphones, smart cars, smart watches, just about everything has picked up a some sort of smart tag attached to it. The Internet of Things era will also bring with it concerns about security, and seeing how easy it is to bypass the password lock screen of an Android Lollipop-powered handset, those are very valid concerns. For those of you who are thinking of getting more and more devices connected in your home, CUJO might be worth checking out.

CUJO happens to be a first-of-its-kind smarthome defender, where it looks really cute and small, but do not let its diminutive form factor fool you into thinking that it is but a toy. CUJO will connect to your home router, where it will keep a keen eye out (virtually) for any kind of unwanted activity that goes through the “e-door” to your home.

CUJO makes use of a machine-learning algorithm so that it can tell the difference between the regular activities of your connected devices, as well as anything that is out of the ordinary. Should there be something amiss, it will alert you via your iOS or Android-powered smartphone, sending you alerts, showing off current connection statuses, as well as providing you with remote control over its functions. Underneath the hood of CUJO lies a 1GHz, dual-core Cavium CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a pair of 1GB Ethernet ports.
