    The Story

    Built in Germany, For Digital Sovereignty

    Nico Mak - Founder & Lead Developer

    Nico Mak

    Founder & Lead Developer

    "NetLock's origins go back to an idea that emerged during the coronavirus pandemic. As remote work became increasingly important, I envisioned offering virtual workstations for small businesses. To manage these workstations effectively, an antivirus and monitoring solution was required β€” but neither the feature sets nor the pricing of well-known providers were convincing."

    Background

    This led me to begin developing NetLock in 2021 as a cloud-only SaaS solution. By the end of 2023, I decided to rebuild the entire project from the ground up, making it self-hostable and fully open source.

    With NetLock RMM as an open-source RMM platform, I aim to enrich the RMM landscape. Today, the market is dominated by large vendors whose products are primarily cloud-based or not open source in the sense defined by the Open Source Initiative.
