A Look Back at 2020

The festive spirit is in full swing, and 2021 is upon us. As we look back at the year’s accomplishments, there is no better time than December to take stock and get a head-start on the upcoming year. Together with our customers, we successfully managed a challenging year for the world. More than that, we reached new heights with our products and delivered CUJO AI’s most innovative lineup ever. The immense growth that we’d experienced last year continued in 2020, as CUJO AI has grown to secure over 760 million devices around the world. Let’s jump around the last 12 months of hard work, earnest objectives, and remarkable achievements that led us here.

CUJO AI achieved spectacular growth in North American markets and stayed involved in global initiatives as a strong voice on cybersecurity, threats, and innovation.

Reached New Record Scale

CUJO AI is the only proven Digital Life Protection service provider deployed at scale, as we’ve expanded the coverage of our service to over 25 million homes through five leading North American Operators in September. In December, CUJO AI was chosen by a Tier 1 Network Operator in Canada to Strengthen the Connected Experience for Broadband Subscribers. This launch marked a significant milestone for CUJO AI expansion in Canada: CUJO AI solutions are currently deployed at 4 of the top 5 Canadian residential broadband providers.
