Dojo is like a digital pet rock

Majority of connected home security systems have critical flaws that leave them vulnerable to spying, including encryption issues and weak passwords. In the smart-home community, the responsibility of policing our devices is our responsibility, but most of us don’t know where to begin.

This is where Dojo comes in – A two-device system that monitors all your connected equipment for cyber-attacks. One part of the Dojo connects to your routers, while the other looks exactly like a smooth black rock and flashes different colours based on what’s happening on your network.

There are three different colours: green means good, orange means something is happening but the system is taking care of it, and red means you need to intervene immediately. Dojo is battery powered and connects via Bluetooth; it is a pet rock unlike any other. With the blink of an eye, the overall situation of your home security is revealed to you!

But red isn’t necessarily a serious danger sign, it could just mean your mom is trying to access your living room camera, or change the password on the alarm system. Luckily the Dojo knows the difference between “human behaviour” and “device behaviour.” Only the human behaviour scenarios will give users the choice to decide how the day-to-day interactions with the device are going to look. You’ll get an alert on the app asking if you want to “block”, “allow once” or “block this attempt.”

There is a certain way your security camera should behave and things it should never do, Dojo analyses this and builds profiles of how they communicate. From there, it can keep a lookout for deviations from these profiles, without you having to do anything.

Every one of your devices is suspect until proven otherwise – the Dojo can help fix the problem!
