Spoofing, Malware, Ransomware, Phishing, Brute Force, SQL Injection, DDoS Attack, and many other types of cyberattacks. The number of companies caught in the net of cyber-criminals keeps growing day by day. Those that did not give in to the latest crises, health, economic… risk succumbing to cyberattacks. And it is often the smallest companies that seem the most fragile.

NUMERYX intends to fight this scourge by offering company executives and information systems managers a range of solutions dedicated to cybersecurity under its entity named SASYX!

Among these solutions, ASGUARD, a next-generation firewall applied to the security of SD-WAN, SDN and 5G networks; it is the first European solution made in France to bring significant added value in terms of performance, security and ease of use.

With the launch of ASGUARD, SASYX presents a significant advance in cybersecurity, offering a range of customizable firewalls for all types of organizations. The result of more than five years of R&D, ASGUARD combines reinforced security and simplified management of cyber threats.

ASGUARD: a solution adapted to next-generation networks.

After in-depth research, the NUMERYX teams came to the conclusion that there is no scientific or commercial solution in Europe that appropriately counters attacks on SD-WAN.

ASGUARD is designed to help companies and public bodies of all sizes improve their level of cybersecurity and protect themselves effectively against the most advanced cyber threats. Available in three complementary versions – Box & Rack, As a Service and Virtual Machine – ASGUARD offers a complete solution to secure digital infrastructures.

The innovative “double mask” technology used by ASGUARD allows an 80% compression of filtering rules, which translates into significant time savings in packet processing and a drastic reduction in resource consumption (RAM, storage, etc.). In addition, ASGUARD integrates essential features such as a firewall, a web proxy, a VPN, an intrusion detection and prevention system (IPS/IDS), an antivirus applied to network functions, as well as a monitoring and reporting console.

With the Double Mask for SD-WAN solution, Numeryx Technologies offers a technological breakthrough in the field of cybersecurity, with many impacts.

NUMERYX offers a new NGFW to secure the latest-generation SD-WAN networks. The project presents major technical advantages with the patented Double-Masked IP filter and ergonomic advantages with an improved user experience compared with what exists. This B2B solution is unique in Europe and changes the way SD-WAN networks are secured.

ASGUARD, how does it work?

A next-generation firewall, the ASGUARD solution will protect the client company from the risks of attack, by interposing itself between the client network and the Internet, whatever the access mode (from the company’s offices, or through a remote client, even mobile).

The basic principle has also been approved by the scientific community at several international conferences, as in 2020 at the Third Conference on Innovation in clouds, the Internet and networks.

This packet filtering method is based on a new representation of IP prefixes, combined with a linear transformation algorithm. It consists of building a minimized set of filtering rules.
