Akita might be the smartest investment for any smart home

Keep your home protected from internet-of-things (IoT) invasions and hacks with Akita!

We're at a crossroads — smart home products have never been more affordable and accessible to the general public, but at the same time, they're often insecure, and most connected devices are susceptible to attacks. Criminals have caught onto this trend and smart home hacks are on the rise. What can you do to secure your IoT products?

Fortunately, there are smart folks working to combat those hackers with ingenious new devices like the Akita. What does the Akita do? Simply plug this little device into a LAN port on your router and the Akita will scan your network for any unusual activity and immediately shut things down if it notices any hackers or malicious programs running on your network. It will then notify you that an attempt was made. You wouldn't want hackers to access any of the sensitive information stored on your connected devices, so Akita does all the policing for you passively. You won't know it's there until it springs into action and prevents a hacking attempt.
