MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and ISTANBUL, Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CUJO AI, an award-winning network security and intelligence company that provides AI-driven protection, privacy and device management solutions, and AirTies, the most widely deployed provider of managed in-home Wi-Fi solutions to global service providers, today announced an alliance to provide cybersecurity and Smart Wi-Fi software solutions for network operators around the world.

Specifically, the two companies will integrate their leading software solutions, making it easier to incorporate Wi-Fi management and enhanced cybersecurity on broadband gateways and in the cloud. Initially, cybersecurity analytics from the CUJO AI Platform will be incorporated into AirTies' Remote Manager, a cloud-based optimization suite that provides service providers with real-time visibility and historical performance analysis to manage the consumer Wi-Fi experience. The two companies will unify their gateway software agents that can be deployed as a firmware upgrade to new and existing broadband gateways, and they will collaborate on joint business opportunities with service providers.

"The dramatic rise in Internet-of-things devices requires new thinking about home Wi-Fi architecture and the security of those devices and home networks," said Philippe Alcaras, CEO of AirTies. "CUJO AI is a clear market leader in this area, and we look forward to partnering to combine advanced Wi-Fi management and cybersecurity into a unified software solution. Our combined efforts will make it easier for operators to deploy gateway software and cloud-based management that will enable operators to proactively enhance and protect their subscribers' home networks."

"Together with AirTies, we will be able to offer a uniquely developed AI driven security solution which was built to help Network Operators to reduce costs, save time, decrease customer churn, and improve brand loyalty.
