Lavawall®'s data gathering approach started with Government and Fortune 50 information security audits. When our founder transitioned from audit and assurance work to a Managed IT Service Provider (MSP), he was shocked that basics like Multi-Factor Authentication were painful to implement in some RMMs like ConnectWise and it was impossible to turn off remote access services in others like Datto RMM and SuperOps.

Lavawall® was built from the ground up with these concerns and the Minimum Viable Secure Product requirements in mind.

Some of the controls we implemented include:
  • PassKeys as the preferred primary authentication at no additional cost
  • Single Sign-on using modern, maintained, and industry-standard protocols for all customers at no additional cost
  • Multi-Factor Authentication as a non-negotiable default
  • Encrypting communications the same way as TLS again within the TLS tunnel, so we can allow TLS inspection without breaking like Huntress or disclosing security vulnerabilities to eavesdroppers.
  • Encouraging external vulnerability reports and customer testing
  • Passwords checked against popular disclosed passwords, hashed before they leave your computer, and then stored using Argon2id
  • Not requiring the use of passwords at all. We consider them a temporary backup authentication in case you can't use passkeys or SSO.

Lavawall® scanning computers are on dedicated servers in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Lavawall® databases and front-end systems are hosted with AWS in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
We send emails through AWS in Ireland and dedicated servers in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
We send text messages for additional identity verification through Twilio in the United States.
We store executables and pass requests through Cloudflare at your nearest edge location.
We use Cloudflare for risk management, turnstile, and web application firewall services.
We use LeadPages for landing pages.
We use Google and Facebook for analytics on our public-facing pages, but they do not have access to the console.
We integrate with third-party tools, such as Microsoft, Google, Huntress, Screen Connect, Axcient, and Datto in their respective locations. However, you must initiate these integrations through single sign-on or by enabling them in your Lavawall® console.

General Questions

The three big catalysts for Lavawall® were:
  1. Two years after a missing Plex Media Server led to the LastPass breach, the Remote Monitorign and Management (RMM) tools availabel for Manged IT Service Providers (MSPs) still didn't monitor for it.
    Going through industry-specific applications, we noticed many were missing from the big RMM and patching providers. MSPs, insurance providers, and organizations that put their cleints at risk need to know about these risks, which lead to the largest number of critical audit findings and breaches
  2. After 20 years of writing the same audit findings about system configurations, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, and missing patches, our technical co-founder wanted to make it easier fo avoid these findings
  3. The existing risk visibility tools for insurance underwriters took a shallow look at Internet-facing risks. They -- along with all businesses -- need a deeper view of the threats that could actually lead to breaches.

Lavawall® breaks vulnerabilities into the following groups:
  • Domain risks
  • Operating System (OS) patches
  • Application patches
  • Network vulnerabilities
  • Cloud vulnerabilities
  • OS configurations

Yes!
You can use your own logo for the console and notifications. You can also use a CNAME to automatically brand your console.
Note: you cannot currently re-proxy the CNAME to Lavawall® through Cloudflare.

Yes!
Lavawall® supports the following operating systems:
  • All versions of Windows 10 and 11.
  • Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and RedHat-based Linux distributions
  • MacOS

  • Lavawall® does not currently support non systemd distributions, such as Devuan, Artix Linux, PCLinuxOS, OpenWRT, and DD-WRT. However, we will support them by the end of 2024.
    In June 2024, we combined the Windows and Linux systems for a consistent experience. This added support for RedHat and MacOS.
    Privacy & Security

    We encourage primary authentication for Lavawall® through Passkeys or Single Sign On (SSO).
    However, we do allow passwords and use passwords as part of the zero-knowledge encryption for your clients' sensitive data, such as Bitlocker keys and Personally-Identifiable Information (PII).
    These passwords use Argon2id slow hashes with individual salts and peppers.

    Yes! Lavawall communicates with its endpoints through TLS. However, given that many of our clients want to be as secure as possible and have TLS inspection enabled, we allow for "insecure" connections with invalid certificates, which result from such configurations.
    We have added an additional secure tunnel that mimics the TLS process within the public TLS tunnel. This extra tunnel provides authentication and privacy for the workstations and the Lavawall® servers to prevent attacks such as the one that took down Solar Winds.

    We do not enable remote access tools like ScreenConnect unless you authorize them and are logged in. Lavawall® was not vulnerable to the ScreenConnect vulnerability because we install and uninstall it right before it's used. In addition, we give the option of linking to Access.

    Remote access is not enabled for read-only and audit situations.

    Lavawall®'s designer holds a CISSP and CISA. In addition, we have external and internal security reviews.
