The Argus Defensive Suite
Detailed technical capabilities, deployment architecture, and API samples for our core security products.
Argus ProxyLB
SOCKS5 Load-Balancing Proxy in Go
Argus ProxyLB is a production-ready SOCKS5 load-balancing proxy written in Go. It accepts multiple simultaneous client connections and routes them through a pool of upstream SOCKS5 proxies using a configurable, pluggable ranking system.
- Accepts multiple simultaneous SOCKS5 client connections
- Intelligent routing through an upstream SOCKS5 proxy pool
- Configurable, pluggable ranking based on latency and health
- Chained instances to build multi-tier routing hierarchies

Argus Shield
High-Performance WAF Reverse Proxy in Go
Argus Shield is a high-performance Web Application Firewall (WAF) reverse proxy data plane written in Go. Designed to inspect and filter HTTP traffic at line rates, it sits as a defensive barrier in front of your applications, protecting them against exploit payloads, malicious bots, and data leaks.

Argus Sentinel
High-Throughput SIEM Ingestion & Event Correlation in Go
Argus Sentinel is a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) data plane written in Go, paired with a web management interface in the Argus Security Portal. Designed to ingest logs via standard Syslog, HTTP webhooks, and stdin at rates exceeding 100k events/sec, it filters, normalizes, enriches, and correlates events in real-time to detect threats and escalate them into actionable security incidents.
