Secure Campus Networks Without
Proprietary Hardware

Universities and schools operate large, open networks on constrained IT budgets. Neurowall runs on the commodity Linux servers you already own — delivering enterprise-grade DDoS protection and firewall control without appliance costs.

The Problem

Education networks are open
by design — and exposed by default.

Campus networks are inherently large and open, serving thousands of users on varied devices. That openness is a feature — but without proper controls, it becomes an attack surface.

Large Open Campus Networks

Campus networks serve students, faculty, research systems, and administrative infrastructure on the same routed fabric. Flat networks make lateral movement trivial after compromise.

DDoS on Research Networks

High-bandwidth research networks are attractive DDoS amplification vectors and targets. Research groups with external collaborators are exposed to attack traffic from multiple directions.

Budget & Staffing Constraints

Education IT teams are small relative to the size of the networks they manage. Enterprise firewall appliances require specialist skills and budget that most institutions don't have.

Remote Learning Reliability

Hybrid and remote learning platforms — LMS, video conferencing, virtual labs — depend on consistent internet egress. DDoS or firewall misconfiguration disrupts learning for every student.

How Neurowall Helps

Enterprise protection at
education-friendly cost.

Neurowall installs on Linux servers you already have, uses simple rule management your team can learn in hours, and protects remote learning platforms and research networks without capex.

Commodity Linux Deployment

No new hardware to buy. Neurowall runs on standard x86 Linux servers — the same hardware your institution already uses for other network functions — dramatically reducing upfront cost.

Simple Rule Management

A clean web UI and REST API let generalist IT staff manage firewall policy without specialist network security certifications. Rules are readable, testable, and version-controlled.

Remote Learning Platform Protection

Prioritize and protect traffic to your LMS, video conferencing, and virtual lab platforms. Rate-limit or block traffic patterns that compete with learning infrastructure during peak hours.

Research Network DDoS Mitigation

XDP/eBPF filtering absorbs volumetric floods targeting research networks before they saturate uplinks or impact shared campus infrastructure. Protect research without blocking it.
