Minim Releases Cable Haunt Virtual Patch
Summary
Minim, the AI-driven WiFi management and IoT security platform, today announced Cable Haunt Virtual Patch, a feature offering comprehensive exploit detection and prevention for the vulnerability that now affects hundreds of millions of Broadcom based cable modems around the world. “A pioneering exploit, this DNS rebind attack infiltrates the trusted side of the home gateway— a sacred space in our book. Cable Haunt validates our belief that AI-driven network-level security is the best way to protect connected devices with varying degrees of updatability in homes.” Minim was founded and is now run by a seasoned team of networking experts, including former Dyn (ACQ: Oracle) executives, in response to the historic Mirai botnet. “Minim’s comprehensive approach to consumer cybersecurity was a significant factor in our choice to partner on our next generation of connectivity solutions,” said Phil Stanhope, CTO of Zoom Telephonics (“Zoom”) (OTCQB: ZMTP), a leading Customer Premise Equipment supplier of Motorola branded cable modems and cable modem/routers. The company is now partnering with service providers and consumer device manufacturers who want to help make home connectivity as safe and reliable as drinking water.
