Feature announcements, product updates, and engineering notes from the NetDefense team.
Grant auditors, NOC staff, or MSSP customers complete read-only visibility into your managed firewall — see everything, change nothing.
NetDefense can now upgrade OPNsense firmware across your fleet — minor point releases with zero downtime via split-apply, and major series jumps on a planned window. Schedulable, previewable, and available from NDCLI, the web console, and the MCP server.
Schedules are reusable named cadences you attach to the commands you already use — run, sync, and backup — so nightly backups, weekly reboots, and periodic config delivery happen on their own.
A detailed look at how NetDefense makes forging a command to a managed firewall infeasible: asymmetric device identity, a bidirectionally signed task channel, and an operator-gated rebind ceremony — built so that everything but the two private signing keys can only verify, never forge.
NDCLI now supports static API tokens for headless authentication in CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, and automated scripts.
