Once installed, Dojo's software adds all the devices—cellphones, printers, tablets, security cameras, etc.—that use your home's wireless network. It then begins to track with whom they communicate: for instance, if one device begins sending data to an unusual server abroad, it raises a red flag.
Dojo itself comes with two pieces of hardware: a palm-sized pebble and its dock. The latter connects directly to your router. The former, which glows red when there's unexpected or alarming network activity, is mobile and can be placed in easily-accessed or visible parts of your home.
Dojo was launched by Dojo-Labs, a startup whose experts have cybersecurity experience from organziations like AT&T, Google, Samsung, and Israeli government intelligence. The hardware was designed by NewDealDesign, the same studio behind the Fitbit Wellness Tracker.
