DK-SHIELD · OPEN-SOURCE XDR
Unified endpoint + network open-source XDR
The entire core is open under the Apache 2.0 license. Detection, blocking, and response carry no artificial limits — transparency is trust.
- Apache 2.0
- Free open-source core
- Fully on-premises
WHY DK-SHIELD
Open, unified, and sovereign — all at once
Open but hard to assemble, or unified but SaaS-only overseas. DK-Shield fills the gap in between.
Transparent open source
The full stack — dual scan engines, network IDS/IPS, and EDR — is open under Apache 2.0. Anyone can audit the code.
Endpoint + network, unified
Endpoint security and network detection are operated on a single platform, not as separate products.
Full data sovereignty
Runs fully on-premises. Your security data never leaves for an overseas SaaS, with support for air-gapped environments.
Perpetual open-source pledge
The core stays Apache 2.0 permanently. Our codified principle: core security capabilities are never paywalled or crippled.
EDITIONS & SUPPORT
Free community core, enterprise by choice
All detection, blocking, and response capabilities are free. Only large-organization governance and compliance features, SLA support, and managed services are paid.
