Legacy network security is bolted together from appliances, VPN concentrators, and firewall rules that take a change-control ticket to touch. Threatmatic replaces all of it with software that already lives on every device — so a policy you write once reaches your entire fleet before the coffee's done brewing.

How a policy travels
Four hops from “block this” to blocked, everywhere.
No box to rack, no VPN client to reconfigure, no ticket to file. The whole path is software, end to end — which is exactly why it's fast.
01
You write one policy
Action, application, scope. One form, same as blocking anything else.
02
The policy engine resolves it
Matches the policy against every enrolled device, zone, and tag it applies to — instantly.
03
QSChannel™ delivers it
An encrypted channel already open to every device. Session hijacking isn't hardened against — it's mathematically off the table.
04
Every device enforces it
Locally, at the source — before traffic ever reaches a network you'd have to firewall.
The diagram
The honest version of the sales pitch.
This is the whole story, minus the buzzwords.
Same request, same outcome — the only variable is how many hands touch it on the way there.
Active defense
Enforcement doesn't wait for a human to notice.
A policy stops traffic you already decided to stop. These three watch for the traffic nobody wrote a rule for yet — and act before it becomes an incident.
EdgeGuard
Flood absorption
A volumetric flood aimed at your origin gets intercepted at the nearest gateway and scrubbed before it ever touches your bandwidth.
0 attack packets reach your network
SynGuard
Flood containment
Inbound connection rates are tracked per source, at the endpoint, before a handshake completes — no analyst has to be watching.
detection to block in <200ms
NetQoS
Bandwidth enforcement
Rate limits apply per app, per destination, per protocol, at the source — a runaway backup job hits its ceiling before it saturates the WAN.

What you stop paying for.
