Megalodon
Hammerhead Firewall · Network Perimeter Defense

Hold the perimeter.
Drop what doesn't belong.

Hammerhead Firewall is an open perimeter family engineered by Megalodon: stateful inspection with Suricata inline IPS, WireGuard and IPsec access, onboard AI agents — the same hardened, auditable platform as the Hammerhead sensors, from a branch-office box to a clustered enterprise edge.

The appliance family

Three sharks. One perimeter.

Same hardened software on every model — Rocky Linux base, containerized, orchestrated from Akula or fully standalone. The red badge marks the Firewall line; the chassis family is shared with the Hammerhead sensors.

Inside every Hammerhead FW

Open stack.
Nothing to take on faith.

Every model runs the same hardened, containerized stack on a Rocky Linux base — stateful filtering, Suricata inline, WireGuard and IPsec you can inspect, not a black box you have to trust.

Orchestrated from Akula — or standalone

Direct connection to Akula: the whole fleet from a single pane of glass, configuration converging every 10 minutes. Or run any firewall fully standalone.

Better together with Hammerhead NDR

Pair the firewall with a Hammerhead sensor: the perimeter blocks, the sensor sees everything behind it — one family, one console.

Yours to run — or ours

Operate it yourself, or let the Megalodon SOC run it as part of MEG-720.
