AKITA is a device meant to “protect your home from IoT invasions and hacks… the IoT device watchdog station.

“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 always on-call privacy experts at Axi.us.

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

They hit their original $30,000 funding goal, and the project now has $460,000 with 9 days remaining.

The basic product reward tier is $89, which gets you the device at a retail discount.
