The threat landscape

Connected homes and SMBs are becoming a bigger cybersecurity risk

Homes and businesses have never been more digital, but with every new connected device, the attack surface expands. At the same time, AI is making cyber threats faster and more automated and difficult to detect, while new threats emerge at a pace that traditional security approaches struggle to match.

Introducing cybersecurity for homes and businesses

Cybersecurity that provides advanced, always-on protection

Airties Home and SMB cybersecurity turns the router itself into an active line of defense, as a new layer of intelligent, always-on protection.

Powered by connectivity intelligence across network, device and application data, a router security app enables operators to detect, analyze and remediate threats across the subscriber base.

Protective shield for all connected devices

Protects every connected device in a home or business, including IoT devices, which are not covered by traditional endpoint security

Mass market protection across the subscriber base

Provides protection as part of the broadband experience, without subscribers needing to install software or manage multiple applications

Threat detection powered by connectivity intelligence

Detects and responds to emerging attack patterns that are not yet logged in traditional threat databases based on per-subscriber connectivity intelligence

Advanced security features for deeper protection

Offers advanced security mechanisms to strengthen cyber resilience for subscribers with more complex security requirements

Critical capabilities for small businesses

Meets the critical security needs of SMBs, safeguarding business continuity, sensitive data and connected devices without the need for dedicated security teams

Futureproofing against AI-driven threats

Prepares for emerging risks created by agentic AI systems that access connected devices, consume untrusted information and take actions autonomously

Example use cases

How Airties Cybersecurity protects your subscribers

Agentic Shield

Maya uses an autonomous AI agent to automate her tasks, but the agent contacts an unusual destination and may send sensitive information. The connection is blocked and a warning is sent to her broadband app.

Parental controls

Paula’s teenage daughter shows signs of anxiety after spending a lot of time on social media. Paula blocks social media on her daughter’s phone to give her peace of mind.

Threat detection

Ben’s pet camera is activating itself even though it is supposed to be offline. The device is isolated from the rest of the network and Ben is alerted in his app to decide next steps.

A layered approach

A layered security approach creates protection and commercial opportunity

Cybersecurity apps on the router do not replace existing solutions but strengthen the overall security model by introducing a new foundational layer. Together, these layers help operators improve security coverage while maintaining opportunities to monetize premium protection services.
