GhostWall

Editorial Review

GhostWall brings a unique approach to network defense by combining Suricata's proven deep packet inspection with machine learning classification. The platform's standout feature is GhostChain — a peer-to-peer encrypted system that syncs zero-day threat signatures across all deployed nodes, meaning when one node learns about a new threat, the entire network benefits immediately. The confidence-scored action system strikes a thoughtful balance between automation and human oversight. Rather than blindly blocking traffic, GhostWall assigns confidence scores to detected threats and can require human approval for sensitive operations. Firewall rules auto-expire with adaptive time-to-live values and safety checks, reducing the risk of legitimate traffic being permanently blocked by false positives. Currently in private beta, GhostWall targets organizations that need enterprise-grade network defense with compliance support for NIST 800-53, GDPR, and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications planned. The on-premise or VPC-isolated deployment with an air-gap option makes it suitable for security-conscious environments. As a pre-release product, prospective users should expect evolving features and should request a demo to evaluate fit for their specific infrastructure.
