The new suite turns the home or small‑business router into a frontline defence, offering two tiers of protection. The mass‑market tier blocks malicious websites, filters content, enforces parental controls and stops advertising and tracking across all devices on the network.
For converged operators, the platform can also extend protection to subscribers’ mobile phones when they are away from the home Wi‑Fi, while a premium tier adds network, device and application intelligence to detect and respond to emerging threats such as router exploitation, port scans, brute‑force attacks and anomalous IoT traffic, including botnet command‑and‑control signals.
Compromised devices can be automatically blocked or quarantined, and small‑business customers gain additional controls such as Ethernet port blocking, network segmentation with separate SSIDs and client isolation to prevent direct device‑to‑device communication.
“Cybersecurity inside the home and business router must be the frontline of defence in today’s age of connected‑device proliferation and AI,” said Metin Taskin, CEO and co‑founder of Airties. He noted that the company’s connectivity intelligence already covers more than 50 million homes, providing data that can be leveraged both for performance optimisation and for spotting security threats.
Airties is also developing a forthcoming feature called Agentic Shield, aimed at mitigating vulnerabilities that could arise as autonomous AI agents become commonplace in residential and commercial environments.
The security functions are being woven into Airties’ existing connectivity management tools rather than offered as a stand‑alone product, a move the company says will let ISPs roll out baseline protection across their subscriber bases and optionally sell advanced services. Airties will continue to work with third‑party threat‑intelligence and endpoint‑protection providers to augment its network‑level safeguards.
Current customers of Airties’ connectivity software include major operators such as AT&T, Bouygues Telecom, BT, Cox, Deutsche Telekom, Telia, Telstra, T‑Mobile US and Vodafone, all of which could integrate the new security layer into their broadband offerings.
