Keezel Company, a Dutch startup and developer of portable Internet encryption devices for customers on the go, has launched The Keezel Home Connect to protect smart homes and IoT devices. The device is designed to safeguard the entire home network and connected devices by creating a separate, private network for smart devices for better security and protection against hackers.
The Keezel connects to any Wi-Fi-enabled product, such as smart lightbulbs, Nest thermostats, smart locks, baby monitors, security cameras, home printers, and laptop computers—all at the same time..
The company uses VPN technology to encrypt the user’s Internet connection, protecting their IoT devices from exposure from a vulnerability in the weakest link in the home network. The system also allows users to remotely access their home network and smart home devices while traveling, using a secure Keezel-to-Keezel connection.
“Our new Keezel Home Connect system allows you to easily set up an encrypted network for your smart home devices,” says Aike M√ºller, CEO and co-founder of Keezel. “The Keezel Home Connect makes it really simple for people to, for example, isolate their smart lightbulb, which has been missing security patches from day one, from their family photos, banking information, personal email, etc. Don’t let the weakest link in your smart home give hackers access to your entire network.”
The Keezel Home Connect is expected to be available later this year.
