Contextual analysis is used to discover devices and profile normal behavior. It detects anomalies, blocks vulnerabilities, guards against IoT ransomware, protects privacy, and prevents malicious IoT misuse; all without the need for additional hardware.

• Prevent IoT device hijacking, ransomware and malicious attacks

• Embedded in the router where the Internet meets the home

• Powered by artificial intelligence

• Enhanced through crowd-sourced threat intelligence

• Automatically discover, profile, and protect devices

• Device-independent

• Learn and permit normal activity; detect and prevent everything else

• Stop attacks in real time

• Always up to date; device patching not required

• Management and insight dashboard

• Full API control

The Avira SafeThingsTM takes a platform approach with multiple elements dedicated to particular tasks. These are installed on the router or accessed as cloud services.

SafeThings SentinelTM: This is installed as firmware on the CPE (Customer-Premises Equipment) or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) router. It is responsible for discovering devices, collecting packet headers, and enforcing protection rules on the router.

SafeThings Secure Channel: This is part of the agent and part of the cloud services. It is a scalable communications channel between the agent and the cloud. It is responsible for securely exchanging information and rule enforcement instructions between the agent and the cloud.

SafeThings Protection CloudTM: This is the brain of Avira SafeThingsTM. It stores only the packet header information that flows through the router. It builds IoT category and individual device profiles. Artificial intelligence is used to learn normal activity, classify usage patterns, detect anomalies, and automatically take best action to security, privacy, and normal functionality of connected devices. In addition, it provides the management, insight, and rule definition interface that ensures Avira SafeThingsTM secures the connected home.

SafeThings User Interface: This is an API that enables service providers and OEMs to access and control SafeThings functionality. It can be used to extend existing OEM/Service Provider apps to visualize the operation of SafeThings, drill down into specific details, and control rules and actions to be taken in case of compromise.

SafeThings Custom Plugins: This allows extended functionality such as Parental Control, VPN, Ad Blocker, and Secure Browsing, etc., to be integrated.

Specifications

Installing the SafeThings SentinelTM onto the in-home router protects the service provider network infrastructure from attacks. DDoS attacks originating from home devices can be stopped at the source to ensure reliability of service while preserving legitimate IoT traffic.

Avira SafeThingsTM can offer visibility of devices behind the firewall. This can lead to better traffic management and opportunities to sell additional services and/or devices to the consumer.

Consumers expect to be able to access the Internet safely. Embedding IoT security into the router delivers the best possible experience and allows brand differentiation by OEMs and service providers alike.

Avira SafeThingsTM can be delivered as a white-label service. This enables additional services to be offered by the service provider or OEM. Different levels of service up to fully managed home routers provide additional revenue opportunities.

OEMs and service providers which offer routers and connected home devices will benefit by demonstrating their end-to-end commitment to security. IoT adoption will be faster and the brand will be enhanced greatly.
