Akita Watchdog – the first SMART gift you should give

Do you have smart devices? This next one would make the perfect gift! Smart devices are sure to be received this holiday so Akita Watchdog should also be included as a gift choice!

When hackers find their way into Smart devices, they have an open window to connect to bank accounts, computer files, financial information–all their complex IoT systems.  And you may not even realize it is happening.
The Akita watchdog device is the first gift you should give to people with smart devices.  It connects to a LAN port on any home router (not inline) and detects any unwanted crypto-activity or break-in attempts into the network.  It blocks them immediately so no hacker can exploit a home network.  It is available on Amazon and retails for about $135.00.

I had the opportunity to try this one out and it is a real relief to not be worried about hackers! Check it out at www.akita.cloud
