See how kernel level security outperforms legacy solutions.
Solve critical infrastructure challenges with a security layer aimed at business continuity and cost efficiency.
Stop paying for malicious traffic. Drop noise at the network edge before it hits your load balancers or application servers, reducing billable bandwidth and compute.
Defend against flood attacks without expensive scrubbing services. ZWall handles 10M+ PPS on standard hardware, keeping your services online during attacks.
Simplify SOC2 and ISO 27001 audits with immutable logs, role based access control, and comprehensive policy history. Prove exactly who changed what, and when.
A comprehensive security platform built for the modern enterprise stack. Everything you need, directly in the kernel.
Ultra low latency packet filtering directly in the OS kernel. Capable of handling 14M+ pps.
Efficient Longest Prefix Match algorithms for massive IP blocklists without performance degradation.
Granular control over specific protocols, ports, and MAC addresses. Bidirectional traffic management.
Bypass filters for trusted traffic with processing priority. Supports CIDR ranges and MAC signatures.
ZWall is engineered for stability. We maintain a transparent distinction between production hardened features and active engineering efforts.
Engineered for performance. Explore the kernel level capabilities that power the ZWall ecosystem.
Executes packet filtering logic directly in the network driver via XDP hooks, bypassing the kernel network stack for zero copy processing.
gRPC based manager nodes handle state synchronization and policy propagation to thousands of edge agents in realtime.
Strict RBAC enforcement with immutable audit logging suitable for SOC2/HIPAA compliance environments.
Operational safety controls designed for regulated enterprise environments.
Bypassing userspace bottlenecks for wire speed packet processing.
Packets execute XDP hooks immediately upon arrival, before memory allocation (skb).
IPs and rules are checked against pre compiled, read optimized BPF maps in nanoseconds.
Traffic is flagged directly as XDP_DROP, XDP_PASS,
or XDP_TX (redirect).
Only metadata and dropped packet samples are sent to user space logging, preserving CPU.
ZWall is designed for the modern hybrid cloud. Whether you’re running bare metal Kubernetes, legacy VMs, or public cloud instances, our agent drops in with a single command.
Native support for Terraform, Ansible, and Puppet. Define security policies alongside your infrastructure.
Rolling updates with zero downtime. The agent handles eBPF program reloading atomically.

ZWall wasn't built by marketers. It was forged by engineers who grew tired of tradeoffs between security, performance, and simplicity.
Democratize kernel level security. We believe every organization deserves military grade protection without the complexity tax.
A world where security is intrinsic to the network fabric, running invisibly at line rate with zero operational friction.
Latency is the enemy. Every line of code is optimized for the datapath.
No afterthought. Security primitives are baked into the architecture.
Complex problems, simple tools. We reject unnecessary abstraction.
