Domain, Web & API Shield
SecureDomain and WebShield inspect DNS, web traffic, APIs, and volumetric attacks before they reach your firewall or application servers.

AuraLink with ProtectionGrid.
A 2U rack appliance powered by dual Identiqa Aura processors that defends every external entry point and locks snapshots at the storage layer. Even stolen domain or backup administrator credentials can't overwrite or purge your recovery copy.

AuraLink deploys alongside your existing firewall: six integrated protection layers and hardware-locked backups in one 2U chassis.
Resilient Mail & Workforce Access
MailShield blocks phishing and malicious payloads, HybridMail keeps mail alive during primary outages, and AppShield + WebAuth replace legacy VPNs.
Hardware-Locked Backups
Snapshots are cryptographically locked on the AuraLink appliance in your own rack. The second copy goes to another site of yours in Cyprus or, encrypted, to the Identiqa Cloud. No admin account can alter them during retention.
Immutable backup appliance: the recovery copy ransomware never gets
In 94 per cent of ransomware attacks, adversaries attempt to destroy or encrypt backups, and they succeed in 57 per cent of those attempts (Sophos 2024). Unlike software-only retention toggles that share privileges with your domain controllers, AuraLink with ProtectionGrid is a dedicated 2U immutable backup appliance: it locks every snapshot cryptographically at the storage controller. The second copy goes where you decide: another site of yours or the Identiqa Cloud. During its retention period, no user, script, or compromised administrator account can overwrite or purge that copy.
Storage-layer lock, the six edge shields, and sub-minute design target
Conventional backup software fails during ransomware incidents because its retention settings can be altered by a compromised domain or backup administrator. AuraLink enforces immutability inside the storage subsystem itself: once a snapshot is written, the storage controller rejects any modify or delete instruction until the cryptographic retention timer expires.
Across the 2U appliance and the Identiqa Cloud, six specialised modules inspect traffic inline: SecureDomain protects DNS integrity, WebShield filters web applications and APIs while absorbing DDoS floods, MailShield strips phishing and malicious payloads, HybridMail keeps mail flowing if your primary provider goes down, AppShield replaces legacy VPNs with zero-trust application access, and WebAuth protects sign-in for your own workforce with phishing-resistant authentication; it does not verify consumer identities, and Identiqa is not a KYC vendor.
AuraLink is engineered to isolate a spreading breach at the network edge without waiting for an analyst to read a dashboard. Sub-minute containment is our engineering design target, not a blanket marketing SLA.

Architecture briefing & advisoryCommon questions
What makes a 2U immutable backup appliance safer than software-only backup immutability?
Software-only backup immutability relies on retention settings inside an administration console that a compromised domain or backup admin account can often alter. Identiqa enforces immutability inside the storage controller of the 2U AuraLink appliance, so even stolen root or domain administrator credentials cannot modify or delete your recovery copy during its retention window.
Why isn't a traditional next-gen firewall enough to stop modern ransomware and phishing chains?
Traditional firewalls govern ports and IP flows but don't secure DNS integrity, mail payloads, VPN-less application access, phishing-resistant workforce sign-in, or storage-locked backups. Identiqa's 2U AuraLink appliance deploys alongside your existing firewall in the rack to close those exact six gaps.
How do you stop ransomware extortion technically without paying a ransom?
By breaking the attack chain at two decisive points: Identiqa ProtectionGrid blocks initial intrusion and lateral command traffic at the network edge while holding a hardware-locked backup copy on the AuraLink appliance so your organisation can restore cleanly without paying a ransom.
