In the documents analyzed by InterSecLab, Geedge Networks’ clients are identified with coded names. Kazakhstan was associated by researchers with K18 and K24 and identified as potentially the company’s first customer. Geedge Networks’ offerings include deep packet inspection, location tracking, traffic monitoring, website and VPN blocking, user identification, reputation scoring, and malware deployment. “Geedge Networks sells these products as a full package,” InterSecLab stressed in its report. This became all too apparent in January 2022 when, as protests roiled across Kazakhstan, the country’s internet went down.
