Enterprise security, without the enterprise programme.
The large suites are priced and staffed for the Fortune 500. The mesh tools connect devices and stop there. Fowlguard gives everyone else the whole thing: access, filtering, agent visibility and the record an auditor asks for, in force minutes after you install it.
You should ask a security vendor this.
A product that sits between your people and the internet earns scrutiny. These are answers rather than intentions, and each one is how the product already behaves.
Your keys are yours alone
Every customer's trust is established separately. There is no vendor key that unlocks more than one organisation.
It fails closed, not open
Where trust cannot be established, the product stops rather than carrying on without it. Nothing is waved through because checking it was inconvenient.
Sensitive categories start exempt
Banking, healthcare, government and legal destinations are excluded from inspection out of the box. Your administrator can change that, because your counsel knows your jurisdictions and we do not.
Report before enforce, everywhere
Filtering rules default to reporting. Nothing this product proposes starts blocking traffic without a person deciding it should.
Inspection happens on the device
Traffic is decrypted and judged on the endpoint, under your own certificate. Page content is never shipped to us to be analysed.
Your directory, not ours
Your users come from your own directory, and your logs export on demand to CSV or straight into your SIEM.
The awkward questions, answered plainly.
The questions worth asking any vendor that sits between your people and the internet.
Can you see our traffic?
No. Decisions are made on the device, and where content inspection is switched on it happens on your own machine under your own certificate, with banking, healthcare, government and legal exempt by default. Decrypted content stays on your own machine and never reaches ours.
Are we locked in to you?
No. Your logs export on demand, to CSV or straight into your SIEM, and your users come from your own directory rather than ours.
How is this different from a mesh tool?
Mesh tools connect devices and stop there. No web filtering, no agent inventory, no block page, no audit trail, so the first compliance question costs you a second product, and a third to reconcile the two. This is connectivity and control, under one identity.
How is this different from a cloud security suite?
Where the decision is made. They send your traffic to their data centres to be judged, and you pay for that detour on every packet: latency, a dependency that fails when they do, and a third party watching where your staff go. We decide on the device.
Will the AI change our policy on its own?
No. Every suggestion arrives switched off and report-only, and a person has to save it. A model that mistook report for block would fail in the direction that matters, so it is never given the last word.
What does deployment involve?
An installer per device. People sign in with the identity provider you already use. Most teams have a rule in force within minutes.
