Protecting Your Home With Cujo

Do you ever worry about your house?  I’m not talking getting broken into by a burglar, but instead, your device being broken into by a hacker.  With more and more of our homes being run by electronics (I have a smart fridge, so I get it!), we have to protect ourselves.  Plus, we have kids, so I have to worry about them giving the house a virus.

This is where CUJO comes to the rescue.  CUJO is a smart firewall for the connected home, designed to bring business-level security to the home network. This one device will secure all devices connecting to the WiFi router. CUJO detects and blocks malicious sites, viruses, and hacks. Think of it like antivirus for your entire network. Plus, CUJO lets you control what your kids access online and keep them safe!

Now, I’m tech savvy, but not all that great at hooking stuff up.  (Don’t ask about the issues we had hooking up the router.)  I was able to hook up the CUJO all by myself and correctly!  Here’s the super cool part, if something funky happens (like it did here), they call and email you!  For us, there was a date issue that we ended up resolving by rebooting everything.  I loved that they called me though!  

I want to highlight some of the parental controls features

  • parental controls for all devices
  • internet filter
  • time limits
  • social media monitoring
  • pause internet
  • alerts and reporting
  • remote administration
  • user profiles and settings

How cool is that?  Here’s the crazy thing – it’s already blocking stuff for us that I have no idea was even happening!

The CUJO is protecting my house; it should be protecting yours too!

  1. This is definitely a product that would be ideal for our family. We are always online and I worry about internet security especially with the recent rashes of security breaches.

  2. My son plays video games and I always worry about the what if someone can get i some back door while he is on lie playing these games. My husband built a pretty sophisticated fire wall, but times are always changing.

  3. I had no idea how at risk we were until we plugged in the CUJO. Gil immediately started asking what ALL the different devices were and we cut-off connection for anything we didn’t recognize. Love all the internet security!

  4. This does sound like an effective way to keep the family safe and secure. The filters are going to be really nice for keeping the kids focused on schoolwork and kid-friendly websites.

  5. I love the name of this Firewall protection! CUJO is something every home really needs. Thank you for sharing this with me, I need to buy one soon.
