Overview
Akita is a sleek little device that serves as a cyber-shield for your home's smart devices. It monitors your network for any unusual behavior and keeps prying eyes from your network by eliminating the weak links hackers use to get their foot in the door.

 

 

 

 

Your WiFi Network Devices can be hacked!

 
Security Cameras, Ip Cameras, Smart Tv and any other device connected to your WiFi  leaves an open window. 

 


 

 

 

Connected to a LAN port on your router, Akita scans your network for any unusual activity and immediately shuts it down. All-the-while letting you know an attempt was made to invade your privacy. Akita uses military-grade security protection that’s been retrofitted for the home. Then, if you run into any issues, we can remotely preserve and restore your privacy with the help of  our experts at Axius.

Akita uses threat intelligence, behavioral analysis, machine learning and doesn't slow your connection at all. Importantly, it doesn't use deep packet inspection.

 

 

 

 

Every Akita Kickstarter Reward comes with security updates for free, for life.  Each backer will also receive a month of free security expert assistance when you upgrade to the Axius Full Service Support Plan.

    

  

 

 

Akita's security is tested by CyberInt

 

What is that? The IPS security method means that Akita analyses sources that IoT devices should be communicating with and instantly flags any anomalies. If anything comes up, our experts at Axi.us are on standby for any of your security concerns. Unlike some riskier solutions, we don't utilize DPI (Deep Packet Inspection). 

  

 

  Check out the Akita app by downloading it from Google Play here

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

After a few weeks, you'll notice Akita improves in many different ways. Akita learns your habits and utilizes them to better protect you and your network. That way, Akita suits itself to your specific privacy and security habits and needs.

 

 

  

  

 

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q: What’s included with the Axius support subscription?
A: 
With an optional plan, you get access to the help desk and help to manage the setup, configuration, and security of your Smart Home devices, networks, and assist and answer ANY general tech question. Some other examples of service are:

  • Wi-Fi & Home Network Assistance 
  • Identity and Password Protection 
  • Setting up an Email Account 
  • Social Media Assistance & Security 
  • New Tablet or Smartphone Setup 
  • Troubleshooting Applications 
  • Smart Home Product Recommendations 
  • Smart Phone App Suggestions

Q: What is the subscription price?
A: 
The first month is free and it will be between $15 - $29. You can always use the device and app on your own. The subscription is an optional upgrade.

Q: What’s the difference between Akita and home firewalls?
A:
The biggest difference is Akita comes with full support and help desk monitoring powered by Axius (www.axi.us). The other significant difference is other firewall customers only receive an alert. With Akita, we do something about the problem. We have automatic disconnects to stop the hack. It's very similar to this commercial for Identity Protection: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/wfAa/lifelock-bank.

Q: Where does the Akita device get placed on the network?
A: 
This device connects to a LAN port on your home router (not inline).

Q: Can I choose the device color I want?
A:
Yes, at the end of the campaign you will be able to choose between black and white.

Q: How does Akita work, exactly?
A: 
It uses a custom form of WiFi sniffing to detect questionable packets and send them to our servers to be analyzed (this is why the hardware can run on low memory/CPU, because it's mainly a cloud-based system). Once the packets are determined to be malicious, a command is sent from our servers back to the Akita device; this includes custom protocol commands to disconnect the device from the network router. Keep in mind, this packet monitoring is high-level and does NOT include any personal information, nor does it require any credentials for specific IoT devices.

Q: Why doesn’t Akita have a gigabit port?
A: 
Because this device is not inline (between the modem and router), a gigabit port is not needed and will not affect the speeds of any customer currently using gigabit connections.

Q: Does Akita monitor all network devices or just those connected via Wi-Fi?
A:
Currently, Akita only monitors and protects against WiFi devices. We are actively developing to include hard-wired devices and there will be a firmware update in the future once finished. No new hardware will be required for this. We do not have an ETA on this update but will keep every backer posted as it progresses.

Q: Can Akita be hacked?
A:
We are actively testing against hacks on the Akita device; we hired one of the strongest Israel-based cyber companies (CyberInt) that have been using a team of ‘white’ hackers to try and hack the device for 3 months. Any vulnerabilities found are reported to R&D and fixed.

Q: How do you know where to ship my Akita to?
A:
All backers will receive an email regarding shipping info at the end of the campaign. You can also specify the device color at that time.
