Network Edge Security for Law Enforcement

Law Enforcement

From detectives working remotely to officers accessing case files from mobile units or partner facilities, modern policing requires secure, flexible access to sensitive systems. The challenge is that many of these environments rely on network equipment that is not under direct control.

Loxada provides a secure, trusted way to extend connectivity for law enforcement teams without increasing operational risk.

The Hidden Risks in Common Network Equipment

Off-the-shelf routers used in homes, temporary command centres, or shared locations often:

  • Contain firmware from manufacturers whose security model is opaque or difficult to verify
  • Are updated infrequently, with little transparency into what the updates contain
  • Can be factory reset to insecure states
  • May include undocumented services or embedded software not visible to users

 

This creates a blind spot. When it is unclear how firmware is developed, updated, or tested, there is a significant risk of vulnerabilities going unnoticed. In some cases, supply chain compromises have allowed threat actors to introduce malware or persistent backdoors into devices during manufacturing or distribution.

For law enforcement, where data sensitivity and operational integrity are critical, that level of uncertainty is unacceptable.

Loxada: Secure, Verifiable Infrastructure

Loxada replaces standard consumer devices with routers that run only our own hardened firmware. There is no leftover code from the original manufacturer, eliminating the risk of undocumented behaviour.

Our devices:

  • Maintain a secure, always-on VPN connection
  • Receive regular, managed updates from a trusted source
  • Block access to known malicious sites
  • Cannot be reverted to an insecure state, even after reset

 

This creates a known-good network edge that your organization can trust.

Practical Deployment Scenarios

  • Mobile units or surveillance teams working from non-standard locations
  • Temporary offices or regional sites without secure IT infrastructure
  • Senior staff accessing classified systems from home or offsite
  • Inter-agency teams collaborating through shared environments
Loxada works with all security measures you already have in place.
