About
Akita keeps smart homes safe from emerging risks and hackers with proven technology supported by a decentralized community of guardians. The product is an instant, plug-in privacy device that is connected to a LAN port on the user's router. Akita scans the homeowner's network and immediately shuts it down if any threats are detected. When threats are detected, the homeowner is instantly notified and the company's on-call privacy experts are available 24/7 to remotely preserve and restore the homeowner's privacy when needed. Akita uses threat intelligence, behavioral analysis, and machine learning without slowing the connection. Akita was developed by HighIoT.
