Firewall made in Europe: digital sovereignty at the perimeter

Why the origin of your firewall matters

Firewalls have far-reaching access to network traffic. With vendors outside the EU, foreign laws may apply – such as the US CLOUD Act, which under certain conditions allows US authorities to access data held by US providers, even when it is stored in Europe. For government, critical infrastructure (in Germany: KRITIS) and regulated industries, a traceable source of supply is therefore a selection criterion.

What sets XMfortress Gate apart

• Developed in Europe: operating system, rule set, detection and management are developed in-house.
• Data in the EU: no dependency on services outside Europe for data storage.
• Documented supply chain: verifiable in procurement documents.
• Four models: from a small site to an enterprise network, with the same management logic.
• Licensing without add-on cascades: IPS, SSL inspection, VPN and web filtering included as standard.

Use in government, critical infrastructure and mid-sized companies

In the public sector, a European source of supply simplifies procurement and data protection. Critical infrastructure operators benefit from a verifiable supply chain and zone separation between IT and OT. For mid-sized companies, the simple licensing model is what counts.

Part of the XMfortress platform

XMfortress Gate sends its logs to XMfortress Detect. This links events at the perimeter with endpoint, identity and cloud signals to form incidents.
