The gate for everything coming in. Janus takes untrusted files in without ever opening or running them, seals the original exactly as received, and recognizes anything it has seen before. It doesn’t decide what’s dangerous — it quarantines and proves, and takes the verdict from a threat feed you choose.
Almost every breach starts with something getting in — a file, an upload, a stream. Most defenses have to recognize the threat first. Janus doesn’t: it takes data in without ever running it, passes on a cleaned copy, and seals the untouched original — provable to an auditor or a court. What was blocked, what was cleaned, what crossed: all recorded, all provable, all instantly searchable.
Two live demos you can drive: seal a document and watch any change get caught — and recognize a known-bad by its signature while the dangerous file never moves. (A sealed, read-only gateway scenario is here.)
Untrusted files and streams are accepted without ever being opened or run — so nothing can trigger on the way in.
Dangerous, active content is removed from the copy that goes downstream — your people get a safe version.
The original is kept exactly as received, tamper-evident and provable — the evidence you never have to detonate.
The moment identical content has crossed before, you know — across every source and all of your history, instantly.
Today you pick one. Disarming tools clean the file and throw the original away — no record to stand behind later. Capture tools keep everything but can’t prove it’s untouched, and bolt integrity on as an afterthought. Janus refuses the trade: it cleans what goes onward and keeps a sealed, searchable, provable record of everything that ever crossed — so you can answer “what came in, what did we do with it, and prove it” in one place, months later.
Because Janus works from a signature of what arrives — never the file itself — dangerous code can be recognized, compared, and blocked without anyone ever having to hold it. A threat lab publishes signatures of known-bad; your door checks an arrival against them and gets a match even when it’s been changed to slip past a checklist — while the malware and your file both stay put. Bring your own threat feed — including open community feeds you subscribe to — and Janus is the provable gate in front of whatever you trust.
Janus does not make a file “safe” by storing it. It removes dangerous content from the copy you pass on, and keeps the original sealed and untouched for evidence. Deciding what is dangerous is the job of the threat feeds and security tools you already trust — bring your own, including open community feeds; Janus is the gate that handles what they flag — provably.
Take in suspicious files and streams, keep them sealed and searchable, and correlate against everything you’ve ever seen — without ever running them.
Every inbound file cleaned on the way in, the original sealed with a chain of custody that holds up to an audit.
Pass only clean, authorized data across a trust boundary — with a provable record of exactly what crossed.
Keep an unbroken, provable record of everything that entered your systems — the evidence regulators and courts require.
Incoming data is taken in without being opened or executed — there is nothing for a payload to trigger.
Ships as a sealed binary that refuses to run if altered. No source, no internals — ever.
Keys are made on your side. We hold none — there is nothing on our side to leak, subpoena, or lose.
Every file taken in, every decision, and every original is recorded and provable — not a log you have to trust.
Continuous integrity monitoring guards the appliance for its whole life, not just at install.
Unlike tools that clean and discard, Janus keeps the sealed original for evidence and recall.
