About NXSgate

We build the gate so the business can move freely.

We think strong network security should be the default, not a six-month project. So we're building a firewall that security teams can trust and network teams actually like using.

Our story

Why we started NXSgate

A lot of companies are stuck with a firewall that's either powerful and painful, or simple and blind. The rule list grows for years, someone turns inspection off because things got slow, and that gap is exactly where attackers get in.

We started NXSgate to fix that. It's built around zones and a single-pass engine, its rules read like plain English, and its console is designed for the people who spend their working day in it.

It's meant for networks of every size, from one branch office to companies with hundreds of sites. Every release is shaped by the engineers who actually run it.

Our mission
Make every network connection verifiable, by default.

Good security shouldn't depend on how much spare time your team has to tune it. It should be where you start.

Principles

What we believe in.

Four ideas we come back to whenever we make a product decision.

Secure by default

New gateways ship with protection switched on and everything blocked until you allow it. Turning security off should take effort, not the other way round.

Built for operators

We design every screen with the network and security engineers who run firewalls for a living.

No hiding the details

Clear docs, public release notes, and performance numbers measured with protection switched on.

Performance is security

If inspection slows everyone down, someone switches it off. We build NXSgate so nobody has to.

Inside NXSgate

Who builds NXSgate.

Threat research

Our analysts study malware, exploits and the servers attackers use, then turn what they find into protection for every gateway.

Engineering

Our engineers build the single-pass engine, the management platform and the hardware it runs on, with a security review at every step.

Customer success

Deployment engineers and support people who know firewalls inside out, and stick around after go-live.

Responsible disclosure

We take the security of our own product seriously. If you think you've found a vulnerability in NXSgate, please tell us privately. We'll confirm we got your report, keep you posted, and credit you once the fix ships.
