Network Security · The EFA family

EFAgateway

A modern router and firewall appliance built on Secure Conduit Technology. Every connection in and out of your network runs through a hardened, monitored conduit — with alerting that tells you what happened in plain English, not raw log noise.

The edge of your network, rebuilt around Secure Conduit Technology

Most small and mid-sized businesses run whatever router the ISP handed them, or a firewall that was configured once and never touched again. EFAgateway replaces that with a modern appliance that treats every path across your perimeter as a secure conduit — inspected, policy-controlled, and continuously monitored.

It routes and firewalls like you'd expect, but the difference is what happens after the packets move. Secure Conduit Technology watches the health and behavior of every conduit and surfaces the things that actually matter — a new outbound path, a configuration drift, a device behaving unlike itself — as clear, actionable alerts delivered to you or your MSP.

What EFAgateway delivers

Secure Conduit Technology

Every route in and out of the network is treated as a hardened, monitored conduit — inspected and policy-controlled by default, not after the fact.

Modern routing & firewall

A current-generation routing and firewall stack with sane defaults, replacing aging edge hardware and set-and-forget configurations.

Managed alerting

We watch the conduit for you. Alerts on drift, new outbound paths, and anomalous behavior come pre-translated into what happened and what to do.

Appliance or virtual

Deploy the standalone hardware appliance, or run EFAgateway as a virtual machine on the hypervisor you already operate.

Configured for you

Each deployment is tuned to your environment — your subnets, your policies, your upstreams — not dropped in with a generic template.

Tiered service plans

Choose the level of hands-on management you want — from self-managed with alerting to fully managed edge, with bundle pricing across the EFA family.

Common questions

It's the approach EFAgateway is built on: every path across your network perimeter is treated as a hardened, monitored conduit rather than an open pipe. Traffic is inspected and policy-controlled, and the behavior of each conduit is watched continuously so anomalies surface as alerts you can act on.

Both. EFAgateway ships as a standalone hardware appliance, and it can also run as a virtual machine on your existing hypervisor. The Secure Conduit feature set and managed alerting are the same either way.

No. EFAgateway is sold with managed alerting and per-customer configuration, and we offer tiered service plans from self-managed-with-alerting up to a fully managed edge. Your IT lead or MSP can also manage it directly.

EFAgateway secures the edge; the rest of the family secures what runs behind it — email with OpenEFA, breach detection with EFAcanary, backup and archive with EFAlifeline and EFAarchive. Alerts across the family share the same plain-English style, and bundle pricing is available.

By appliance (or virtual instance) and service tier, with bundle discounts when EFAgateway is combined with other EFA family products. Contact us for a quote sized to your environment.

Every EFA product makes every other one smarter

EFA Security is collaborative by design. Every product connects through Secure Conduit Technology — one hardened, monitored channel — so when one attacker is caught on any product anywhere in the community, the threat is neutralized locally and its tradecraft becomes intelligence that protects everyone else. Seen once, known everywhere.

1

Detect & sanitize

A bad actor hits any EFA product line — EFAgateway, EFAcanary, OpenEFA, and the rest. The threat is stopped and sanitized right where it lands, before it can do harm.

2

Strip your identity

The threat signal is extracted and every piece of customer-identifying information is removed. What's kept is the attacker's behavior — never who they targeted.

3

Record & share

The anonymized intelligence is recorded and distributed across the EFA community over Secure Conduit Technology — the same hardened channel the products already trust.

4

Protect everyone

Every other EFA deployment now recognizes that attacker on sight. A threat one customer sees becomes a threat the whole community is already defended against.

Your data stays yours. EFAintelligence shares what the threat was — never who was targeted. Customer identity, message content, and identifying metadata are stripped before anything ever leaves your environment. You contribute to the community's defense without exposing your business.
