About LinkGuard

LinkGuard is a cybersecurity platform developed by Blue Ridge Networks, a company with over two decades of experience providing breach prevention solutions. This technology has a history of being utilized within the U.S. Intelligence Community and the private sector, with no reported breaches of the technology itself. The platform operates on a Zero Trust model, focusing on proactively preventing cyber attacks rather than reacting to them.

The core of LinkGuard's service is its CyberCloak™ technology, which isolates, conceals, encrypts, and authenticates network assets. This creates a stealth overlay fabric that makes critical infrastructure and data invisible to unauthorized users, effectively reducing the network's attack surface. By creating a cloaked network, it prevents hackers from gaining access and stops compromised systems from exfiltrating data or communicating with attackers. The solution is designed for a variety of sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, finance, government, and utilities. It is particularly beneficial for securing Operational Technology (OT) and SCADA networks, as demonstrated by its deployment to protect a major U.S. city's water treatment operations.

LinkGuard's business model involves offering its solution as a product, a fully managed "LinkGuard-as-a-service", or co-managed services. This flexibility allows clients to choose their level of involvement, with the managed service option removing the operational burden of maintenance from their IT teams. The platform is comprised of a Management System, BorderGuard® cryptographic devices, and various clients like RemoteLink™ and EdgeGuard® to secure different endpoints. It is engineered for rapid deployment without requiring significant changes to existing network infrastructure, which can translate to cost savings by reducing the need for multiple other security tools and reallocating engineering resources.
