The Firewall That
Actually Thinks

Khetaka is an AI-powered cybersecurity gateway that replaces your firewall, IDS/IPS, web filter, vulnerability scanner and compliance dashboard with one unified platform — standing at your network edge as the first line of defense, watching every packet that comes and goes. Currently in active development, ahead of public launch.

WHAT IS KHETAKA

One shield, instead of a stack of tools

Most networks run five or six disconnected security products that barely talk to each other. Khetaka replaces that sprawl with a single AI-native platform.

UNIFIED PLATFORM

Every security layer, one console

Firewall, IDS/IPS, web filtering, vulnerability management, compliance monitoring and threat intelligence run together on one platform — so nothing falls through the cracks between disconnected tools.

AI-NATIVE DEFENSE

Not just rules — real intelligence

Khetaka's AI engine studies traffic patterns, correlates threats and flags anomalies a static rule-set would miss — with a built-in AI Security Assistant your team can simply ask questions to.

WHY KHETAKA

Not another firewall. A shield.

Traditional firewalls only filter traffic. Khetaka does everything around it too.

Traditional Firewall

  • Filters traffic — nothing more
  • Separate tool for IDS/IPS
  • Separate tool for vulnerability scanning
  • Separate tool for compliance reporting
  • No built-in threat intelligence
  • Static rules, no AI correlation
  • Higher total cost of ownership

Khetaka

  • Firewall + IDS/IPS in one platform
  • Built-in vulnerability management
  • Built-in compliance monitoring
  • Integrated threat intelligence feeds
  • AI-powered detection & correlation
  • Natural-language AI security assistant
  • Lower total cost of ownership
