Defguard listed in Dealroom's "Tough Tech" report!

Mapping NATO Eastern Flank innovations, it defines "Tough Tech" as tech that "can't fail."

The only infrastructure that never fails is one you fully control.

We were recognized for:
🔹 European Data Sovereignty
🔹 Privacy & Control (Self-hosted)
🔹 Trust through Open Source

If you build critical infrastructure, don't rent your security. Own it.

The NIS2 Directive is no longer a future problem. It's on your desk now, and your remote access stack is under scrutiny.

But be warned: most "VPN MFA" solutions have a critical compliance gap that auditors will find.

We wrote an engineering guide (no fluff) on how to fix it:
🔹 Real security vs. "checkboxes"
🔹 Implementing connection-level MFA
🔹 Making your setup compliant

💡 Not all “VPN MFA” means the same thing.

Setup-level 2FA: checked once during device enrollment.

Connection-level MFA: required every time a session starts.

If someone steals the VPN key (the static config with the private key), setup-level 2FA won’t block the connection, because it’s not involved in the handshake.

Connection-level MFA is.

In Defguard, MFA is built into the WireGuard® session flow.

🔒 Is your enterprise VPN a "Black Box"?

When security relies on "trust" in closed code, you're exposed to hidden risks, vendor lock-in, and outdated protocols.

We compared the traditional "all-in-one" model with an open, enterprise-ready stack built on WireGuard®.
