Complete protection in a single appliance
A firewall appliance is a security device that inspects traffic between your network and the internet and lets only permitted connections through. PONIVA is a next-generation firewall (NGFW) that combines this core function with intrusion prevention, content filtering, legal logging and remote access in a single appliance.
Made in Türkiye, TRTEST-certified
PONIVA's software and product design are developed in Türkiye by PONA Teknoloji. The product has completed firewall certification by TRTEST, a joint venture of SSB, TSE, TÜBİTAK and STM, and qualifies for public procurement that requires domestic products.
Built-in Law No. 5651 logging
Internet access logs are kept on the appliance, signed with a TÜRKTRUST, Zamane or TÜBİTAK KAMUSM timestamp and can be exported to a USB drive, an FTP server or a Windows share. No separate logging appliance is needed for Law No. 5651.
Law No. 5651 legal loggingTechnical safeguards for KVKK

What is PONIVA Firewall?
PONIVA is a Turkish-made next-generation firewall developed by PONA Teknoloji. It offers IDS/IPS, web filtering, Law No. 5651 compliant logging, VPN and MFA in a single appliance, and is one of the NGFW products in Türkiye to have received TRTEST certification.
What is a firewall appliance and what does it do?
A firewall appliance is a security device placed between your network and the internet that inspects traffic against defined rules. It blocks unauthorized connections, detects attacks and manages users' internet access according to policy. Next-generation firewalls such as PONIVA also provide intrusion prevention (IPS), web filtering, VPN and legal logging.
Is PONIVA compliant with Law No. 5651?
Yes. PONIVA keeps timestamped internet access logs and reports them as required by Turkish Law No. 5651, so businesses can meet their legal obligations without buying a separate logging appliance.
Is a firewall mandatory under KVKK?
KVKK, Türkiye's data protection law, does not mandate a specific product, but it requires data controllers to take appropriate technical measures to prevent unlawful access to personal data. The Personal Data Protection Authority's data security guide lists firewalls and network security among these measures. PONIVA covers the network layer with access policies, intrusion prevention and on-premises log storage.
Which PONIVA model is right for me?
The PONIVA-25/50/80 desktop models are recommended for offices with 5–50 users, and the rack-mount models from PONIVA-100 to PONIVA-3000-SF for enterprise networks with 100–1000+ users. The model is chosen based on the number of users, internet bandwidth and the required port layout.
Is PONIVA a domestically developed Turkish product?
Yes. PONIVA's software and product design are developed in Türkiye by PONA Teknoloji. The company is a member of the Turkish Cyber Security Cluster and SAHA Istanbul.
Can PONIVA replace foreign products such as Fortinet, Sophos or Palo Alto?
Yes. Alongside standard NGFW functions, PONIVA offers components tailored to Turkish regulations and use cases, such as Law No. 5651 logging, Turkuaz Zero-Touch VPN, Sectify MFA and GateFi hotspot integration.
