About
Huskeys is an Israeli cybersecurity startup that has developed a Network Edge Security Management (NESM) platform. The company's AI-powered platform enhances existing web application firewalls (WAFs) and other network security products without replacing them, providing transparency, context, and control to optimize security and business outcomes. Huskeys aims to address the shortcomings of traditional WAFs by adding an agentic AI layer that analyzes traffic, evaluates security rules, and automatically adjusts them in real-time. The platform integrates with multiple cloud environments and existing security systems, enabling organizations to manage and optimize defenses without modifying application code. Huskeys' NESM platform uses patented technology.
