Autonomous defence · built in Ethiopia

It reads the attack, names it, and shuts the door — in the same breath.

CyberGuard watches the traffic reaching your servers, recognises hostile requests against 19 attack classes — from SQL injection to prompt injection — blocks the source, and tells your team in plain language what just happened and what to do about it.

Coverage

Classic attacks and AI-era attacks, on the same wire.

Most tools were built before an attacker could target your language model instead of your database. CyberGuard inspects the same request for both, and maps every finding to MITRE ATT&CK or MITRE ATLAS so it lands in the vocabulary your analysts already use.

Response

Eight steps between a request arriving and your phone ringing.

Detection that only produces a dashboard is a report, not a defence. Every event runs the same path, and the decision at each stage changes what the next one does.

01

Drop self-traffic

Health checks and local proxies are infrastructure, never attackers.

02

Log everything

Hostile or not — the baseline needs the full picture.

03

Score the source

Reputation checked against offline blocklists before any payload is read.

04

Inspect the payload

Signatures and behavioural counters together; worst match becomes the headline.

05

Decide the block

By severity, or because intel already knows the source is hostile.

06

Locate and record

Geography, network owner and hardware attached, then pushed to the live map.

07

Open a case

Serious hits become CVSS-scored findings on a triage board, deduplicated.

08

Reach a human

SMS, email and a voice call that reads the alert aloud.

Deployment

Watch first. Enforce when you are ready.

Two honest modes, and we will tell you plainly which one you are in. A tool that claims to protect while only observing is worse than one that admits it.

Observe

Alongside your servers

A collector tails your existing nginx, Apache and SSH logs and feeds them in. Nothing sits in the traffic path, so nothing can break. You see the attack — after your application already answered it.

visitor → your site ↓ logs CyberGuard
Enforce

In front of your site

A reverse proxy screens every request and returns 403 before it reaches your application. It fails open by design — if the guard is unreachable, traffic still flows. Your site never goes down because the firewall did.

visitor → CyberGuard → your site ↓ hostile → 403

Runs on a single Debian server. The blocklists, the IP-to-country database and the analyst explanations all work offline — no traffic of yours leaves your infrastructure, and nothing stops working if the internet does.

The console

Six views, one operating picture.

Built to be readable by an executive at a glance and useful to an analyst at 3 a.m.

SOC dashboard

Live threat feed, severity bands, active blocks and the current threat level.

Attack map

Every attacker geolocated, with an arc drawn from its city to your server. The camera follows whatever just landed.

Threat globe

The same data as a rotating 3D globe for a wall display.

Command centre

Globe, map and a tactical radar side by side, with a DEFCON gauge and analytics by type, region and severity.

Findings board

Detections become CVSS-scored cases on a kanban — open, triaged, in progress, resolved — with evidence and a full audit trail.

Learn

Every rule the engine runs, its MITRE mapping and its remediation — read live from the running engine, so the reference can never drift from reality.

Who it is for

Designed for organisations that cannot outsource their perimeter.

Built in Addis Ababa for institutions that need their security data to stay on infrastructure they control, on connectivity they cannot always rely on, and in a budget that does not assume a foreign SOC contract.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

Will it block my real customers?

That is the right question, and it is why every trial starts in observe-only mode. For the first two weeks CyberGuard scores traffic and records what it would have blocked, without blocking anything. You read that list against your own traffic and decide. If the false-positive rate is not acceptable to you, you have lost nothing.

Does my traffic leave my network?

No. Detection, reputation scoring and geolocation all run locally against datasets shipped with the product — 5,958 threat indicators held offline. The only traffic that leaves is the alert you asked us to send, over the channel you configured. Enterprise installations can be fully air-gapped.

Where does it sit?

Two ways, and you can run both. Passively, a log shipper tails your existing nginx, Apache or sshd logs and reports what reached you — no change to your serving path. Inline, a reverse proxy sits in front of your origin and returns 403 before the request ever arrives. Passive is safe to switch on today; inline is what actually stops an attack.

What happens to the data you hold?

It stays on the server you installed it on. We do not operate a cloud that your events are shipped to. Retention is yours to set, and pruning is enforced by the product rather than by a promise.

Can I see what it has already caught, before buying?

Yes, and it is the fastest thing we can do for you. Point the shipper at an access log you already have and CyberGuard replays it with the original timestamps. In a recent test, 4,000 log lines produced 180 dated findings — attacks that had already reached that server, that nobody had looked at.

Who is behind it?

S.R.E Manufacturing and Trading P.L.C., in Addis Ababa. The product is built in Ethiopia, supported from Ethiopia, and does not depend on a foreign service staying available for your defences to work.
