Description

CacheGuard-OS is an open-source Linux-based UTM gateway appliance OS that has been in active development since 2002. It is designed to run on commodity x86 hardware and act as the default route between an internal network and the internet, replacing the ISP-provided router as the traffic checkpoint. The stack integrates: Squid (web cache and proxy), ClamAV (web antivirus), ModSecurity (WAF), StrongSwan (IPsec/IKEv2 VPN), IPRoute2 (QoS and WAN load balancing), NetFilter (stateful firewall), SSL inspection, and URL filtering. All components are configured through a web-based admin interface rather than directly, making the platform accessible to operators without deep Linux expertise while remaining auditable by those who want to inspect the underlying configuration. The OS has been open-source since its first release — source ships on every installed appliance. It was recently published publicly on GitHub to make the codebase easier to browse and audit. Target deployments are small to medium networks — SMBs, schools, and branch offices — where a commercial UTM appliance is overkill on budget but the threat surface is the same. Runs on bare metal or common hypervisors (VMware, VirtualBox, KVM, Hyper-V). No vendor lock-in, no subscription, no licence cost. GitHub: cacheguard/CacheGuard-OS

Description

Today, there are more users and data outside of the enterprise than inside. This is causing the network perimeter we know to be dissolved. We need a new perimeter. One that is built in cloud and tracks and protects data wherever it goes. One that protects the business without slowing down or creating unnecessary friction. One that allows secure and fast access to the cloud and the web via one of the most powerful and fastest security networks in the world. This ensures that you don't have to compromise security for speed. This is the new perimeter. This is the Netskope Security Cloud. Reimagine your perimeter. Netskope is committed to this vision. Security teams face challenges in managing risk and ensuring that the business is not affected by the organic adoption of mobile and cloud technology. Security has been able to manage risk traditionally by using heavy-handed controls. However, today's business wants speed and agility. Netskope is changing the definition of cloud, network and data security.
