Gasha Antivirus
Gasha Antivirus gives you powerful protection against viruses, malware, ransomware, and online threats — all while staying light on your system. With a smart scanning engine and real-time monitoring, Gasha works quietly in the background so you can browse, work, and play without worry.
Overview
Gasha Antivirus is INSA's indigenous endpoint protection platform, engineered specifically for Ethiopian government institutions and enterprises. It combines real-time behavioral analysis with a continuously updated threat intelligence database to stop viruses, ransomware, spyware, and zero-day threats before they cause damage.
Why It Matters
Ethiopian government systems and critical infrastructure face a growing volume of targeted cyberattacks. Foreign antivirus solutions may not account for locally relevant threat actors or comply with national data sovereignty requirements. Gasha AV is built, maintained, and updated by INSA — ensuring your security data never leaves Ethiopian jurisdiction.
