1. The Problem
Today, countless cybersecurity companies build products that protect consumers and enterprises from threats delivered through phishing, network perimeters, browser extensions, web services or misconfigured cloud settings. Many of these products perform well and are essential to safeguarding sensitive information.
These solutions share a critical assumption: the threat is remote. As famously described by Clifford Stoll in his book The Cuckoo's Egg, attackers typically appear as electrical signals traveling through copper wires or photons moving through fiber optic cables—from anywhere in the world. Consequently, defenses are primarily structured around detecting and mitigating precisely these remote threats.
However, these defenses overlook Close-Range Attacks. What if attackers fail to compromise your systems remotely and instead choose to approach your infrastructure physically or remotely exploit nearby wireless networks to pivot to your environment? This is precisely the threat Nzyme addresses.
Physical intrusions and close-proximity threats might not factor into every threat model, and our intent is not to frighten users away from public WiFi or turn offices into fortresses. Nevertheless, the risk and sophistication of these threats exist on a spectrum. Our mission is to empower everyone to effectively defend against the realistic threats applicable to their context.
Nzyme helps protect you from:
- Unauthorized devices joining your WiFi networks
- Attacks aimed at penetrating your WiFi to access underlying networks
- Rogue WiFi access points performing man-in-the-middle attacks
- Unauthorized physical connections to your local network
- Eavesdropping devices
- Unauthorized Internet Hotspots
- Unauthorized access to critical areas within your buildings or property
- Physical reconnaissance targeting individuals, buildings, or property
- Unauthorized Bluetooth devices in proximity
- Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks targeting your WiFi
- WiFi devices unintentionally broadcasting sensitive information

2. Our Solution
Nzyme sensors continuously gather extensive wireless and wired data across multiple domains. Each sensor efficiently pre-processes and securely transmits relevant subsets of this data to your Nzyme installation. This approach minimizes bandwidth requirements, allowing Nzyme to operate from virtually any location.
Upon receiving data, Nzyme analyzes and organizes it. With full multi-tenancy built-in, the system enforces access permissions based on the originating sensor, ensuring data visibility only to authorized users through the Nzyme web interface.
Data is presented in an actionable format, enabling users to rapidly detect threats and suspicious signals, even when they are not network data analysis or SIGINT experts. Alert rules align clearly with real-world use-cases, eliminating the need to learn additional configuration syntaxes or query languages. Alerts can automatically trigger predefined actions.
Initial alerting and detailed analysis are often executed directly at the sensor level, while comprehensive batch processing is managed centrally by your Nzyme installation. Designed specifically for efficient operation at the edge, some Nzyme sensors can reliably function even on battery or solar power.
3. Affordability & Availability
Existing solutions in this space often focus exclusively on protecting against the most sophisticated threats, offering limited flexibility to adapt cost and complexity to your specific threat model. For instance, your priority might be safeguarding your wireless networks rather than defending against nation-state actors physically planting eavesdropping devices at your facilities.
Nzyme is specifically designed to address your security needs efficiently, without unnecessary complexity or excessive hardware and software costs. Instead of providing a single, overly complex sensor package, Nzyme allows you to scale your deployment precisely to match evolving threat scenarios.
Some security vendors can be challenging to work with or overly restrictive in their engagements. At Nzyme, we offer clear, straightforward pricing and support options, available to organizations based in allied countries.
