The new version of ASGUARD our sovereign firewall includes 3 major new features: integrated WAF, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) approach and multi-Gateway (SD-WAN).
Offered in 3 complementary versions (Box & Rack, As a service and Virtual Machine), ASGUARD is a complete solution that secures digital infrastructure. ASGUARD is based on an innovative technology: the “double mask” filter, which allows filtering rules to be compressed by up to 80%. These filtering rules ensure a significant gain in packet processing time and a drastic reduction in resource consumption (RAM, storage…).
In addition, ASGUARD brings together in a single offer essential “all-in-one” features such as:
- a level 4 firewall,
- a web proxy,
- two VPNs, IPSEC & SSL,
- an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IPS/IDS),
- an antivirus applied to network functions,
- the ability to integrate with LDAP.

Presentation of the functional new features of the new version of ASGUARD
The integrated Web Application Firewall (WAF)
It protects web applications against complex attacks and vulnerabilities with a WAF built directly into the software.
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is an essential security device for protecting web applications, designed to monitor and filter the HTTP and HTTPS traffic entering and leaving application servers. Unlike traditional network firewalls, which block unauthorised traffic at network level, the WAF focuses specifically on web applications. Thanks to its central role in protecting against modern cyber threats, it has become a key component of cybersecurity strategies for companies of all sizes.
The Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) approach
This Zero Trust approach ensures that every connection is verified, authenticated and secured. It is then possible to ensure secure access to your resources, wherever they are, and to protect your sensitive data against any intrusion.
Zero Trust Network Access, is a security approach based on the principle of zero trust. Every user, device or application must prove its identity before accessing a resource, whether inside or outside the network. This approach has become paramount in the context of increasing cyber threats and companies’ transition to the cloud.
The Multi Gateway (SD-WAN)
It optimises the company’s network connectivity with the multi gateway (SD-WAN) feature.
Multi-gateway SD-WAN allows a company to manage several network gateways simultaneously. This means traffic can be dynamically distributed between different connections, such as fibre, 4G/5G or dedicated lines. This management guarantees optimal network performance while ensuring redundancy in the event of a connection failure, an essential advantage in a world where service interruptions can have costly consequences.
Ahmed BOUAZIZ, CTO SASYX (NUMERYX Group) : “We are proud to announce version 2 of our new, already multi-award-winning firewall, listed by leading organisations such as UGAP. ASGUARD positions itself as one of the only fully sovereign firewalls and guarantees a unique level of protection to its users. Its availability as Box & Rack, As a service and Virtual Machine makes it adaptable to all uses and fits all existing configurations. ”
