HFS Hot Vendor: CujoAI

CUJO AI wants to help network operators bring enterprise-grade network security to consumers to protect their proliferating range of connected devices and things. Founded in 2015, the firm got its start with a smart firewall product sold directly to consumers through big-box retailers. The product, which connected directly to in-home routers, enabled CUJO AI to establish a business in the emerging niche of home network security and, critically, to start collecting data about the threats facing connected consumer devices. This collection and processing of network metadata enabled CUJO AI to train machine learning algorithms focused on ensuring consumer cybersecurity and determining relevant network threats.
