We specialize in working with data β we develop and implement Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that work for all business sectors. But recently we have shifted our focus to a new product designed primarily for the smart home or office.
Now the average resident of a metropolis has a Wi-Fi router, a set-top box from an Internet provider or a media player, a hub for IoT devices in their apartment.
We thought that all these devices can not only be combined into one device, but also completely secure the home network. That is, this is a device that combines a router, a smart firewall with an antivirus, a Zigbee router (as an option - local data processing and decision making, including script execution). And, of course, it works with a mobile application for control and monitoring. It is possible to set up a smart home by those specialists of the provider. The device will work with Alice, so no one has canceled home discos and city games.
So, depending on the modification, the device can be:
a) Antivirus;
b) Wifi hotspot with antivirus;
c) Wifi/Zigbee access point with antivirus, optional
management of UD;
d) Wifi/Zigbee/Ethernet router with antivirus optional
UD management.
Unfortunately, completely secure IoT systems do not exist. One way or another, they are all vulnerable. According to Kaspersky, in the first half of 2019, hackers attacked IoT devices more than 100 million times, most often using the Mirai and Nyadrop botnets. We understand that security is a headache for the user, so our Kauri Hub acts as an antivirus. It scans all traffic on the network for malicious activities. As soon as the device detects an anomaly, it blocks all attempts to access gadgets on the network from the outside. At the same time, anti-virus work does not affect the speed of the Internet, but absolutely all connected devices will be protected.
Anticipating some objections:
- I can assemble it myself on a router with Zigbee USB and OpenWrt.
Yes, you are a geek. And if you want to mess around with it - why not? and applications
for a smartphone, you will certainly write too. But how many people like you?
β Combines do not do a single function well.
Not certainly in that way. It is convenient to combine the processing of network protocols in one device. Modern home routers already combine a lot of features, we're just adding a few more.
- Zigbee is insecure.
Yes, if you use the cheapest sensors with a key stitched by default. We suggest using the more secure Zigbee 3.0 standard. But the sensors will be more expensive.
Feedback is very important to us! The Kauri Safe Smart Home project is currently under active development. We expect that it will be useful not only for home tasks, but also for office purposes. In this regard, we have a few questions for readers:
- Are you interested in such a device?
- For what minimum amount would you be interested in buying it?
