What is WatchTower?
WatchTower is a Linux-based desktop application that monitors network activity, detects potential security threats in real time using AI, and gives actionable insights through an intuitive graphical interface. All while allowing you to communicate with your teammates through our platform.
How does WatchTower detect threats?
WatchTower integrates Suricata, an open-source intrusion detection system (IDS), to analyze network traffic and generate alerts. These alerts are then processed and classified by an AI model to identify critical threats and automate incident response based on how the AI is tuned.
What’s the difference between the monthly and yearly plans?
Monthly Plan: 40,000 EGP/month
Yearly Plan: 400,000 EGP/year (2 months free)
Both include full access to the tool, installation support, and a training session for the SOC team as well as an awareness session for the employees.
Is WatchTower cloud-based or offline?
WatchTower works completely offline. All monitoring and threat analysis happens on your local machine. No internet is required after activation.
What is AI Tuning, and do I need it?
AI Tuning is an optional service (5,000 EGP) where we fine-tune your threat detection system for your unique environment. It’s ideal for advanced users or high-security setups
Will it slow down my system?
No. WatchTower is optimized for lightweight performance and runs efficiently in the background without draining system resources.
Can I view logs of past incidents?
Yes. All detected threats and activities are logged securely and can be reviewed anytime through the dashboard.
What’s included in the setup and training?
We help you install and configure the tool, integrate it with your network, and walk you through how to use it effectively during a 1-hour session as well as a cybersecurity awareness session for all employees.
