Defense
Whether deployed in the field, working from partner facilities, or operating from classified or restricted locations, defence and government personnel need access to systems that require the highest standards of trust and control.
Yet the network equipment used to facilitate that access is often commercial-grade and difficult to verify, both in terms of its firmware and update history.
Why Network Integrity Matters
Consumer and even enterprise-grade routers are rarely designed for the threat model faced by defense organisations. Devices:
- May include undocumented services or embedded vendor features
- Often rely on third-party firmware components with unverified security
- Can be factory reset, exposing users to insecure configurations
- Receive software updates that lack transparency or auditability
When used in sensitive locations, this type of infrastructure can introduce significant risk. There is growing concern about the potential for nation-state actors to exploit firmware-level weaknesses or compromise supply chains to insert surveillance mechanisms or backdoors.
Loxada: A Known-Good Network Edge
Loxada provides fully managed, pre-configured routers that:
- Run only Loxada’s custom firmware, completely replacing the original codebase
- Maintain a secure VPN connection at all times
- Apply updates automatically and securely from a known, verifiable source
- Block access to malicious sites and domains
- Prevent rollback to insecure states, even after a reset
Our devices do not rely on manufacturer firmware, removing the uncertainty surrounding embedded services or remote access features.
Deployable in a Wide Range of Scenarios
- Personnel working off-base or during field exercises
- Classified access from secure home environments
- Partner agency collaboration through non-defence networks
- Situations where physical network infrastructure is outside direct control
