So, does CUJO offer threat detection for directly wired to the router computers? how does it inspect that traffic? does it do ARP poisoning to trick the router to also send that to CUJO?
What about wireless? I'm assuming that given the password it just sits there sniffing on it, is that correct?
Also, privacy should be a concern here, how do you give any kind of assurances on that? do you send the metadata to your servers? does CUJO have the ML model that gets updated or does it rely on the 3rd party to assess the threats?
As a security geek I'm curious :) and Kudos for the idea, this will be required more and more as we enter the IoT era

@joantune Joao, yes, we protect both wired and wireless devices. We act as a DHCP server on your network in order to inspect traffic. In our app we show flow data that is being sent to our cloud. That said, if we were to send more than packet headers (metadata) you'd experience significant latency. Also, our mission revolves around privacy and security so we wouldn't ever mess with that. We use our own ML algorithms and a few dozens of 3rd party threat-intel feeds. Thanks for the upvote!

@einarasg Do you need to disable the router's DHCP server then? how do you ensure that your DHCP offer is the one that is taken by the clients? sorry for the very tech detailed questions but the geek in me is screaming these out

@joantune No worries! Yes, in DHCP mode you'd disable the router’s DHCP server so that we are the ones to answer. In Bridge mode (modem > CUJO > router/switch) no such setup is required.

@einarasg oh, and it can be placed in between the modem. Cool!
I'm a believer in this product, the idea and so far the technical details of the execution.
You guys could also consider the Small and Medium Businesses segment, as security is seen there as even more paramount than in homes. You might have come 'too early' to the home security market as we don't have that many horror stories... yet! (they will show up eventually)

@joantune Thanks for the good wishes João! SMBs are indeed huge for us. Lots of pre-orders coming from professionals that need CUJO to protect their work.
