Built by people who have run enterprise IT for decades

FNG was founded to bring governed AI to enterprises, led by people who have delivered enterprise technology and security for over two decades.

Why FNG exists

Product-first, governed by design

FNG is a product-first AI company. Numik leads. The conviction behind it is simple.

  1. Numik leads

    The platform is the product. Everything else exists to help you adopt it and keep it governed.

  2. Governance is the differentiator

    The governed operating layer, human-in-the-loop approval, full audit, permissions, and multi-agent orchestration, is what makes it hard to copy.

  3. Services wrap around the product

    Consulting, training, implementation, governance, and cybersecurity support Numik adoption. They do not replace it.

Founder and CEO

Ashraf Alkishawi has spent 25 years building the systems enterprises actually run on. Symantec, Nokia, Panasonic Avionics, BAE Systems, Verizon: environments where downtime is not an option and trust is earned in production. He has led a security division as a vice president, run his own software company, and in recent years built an enterprise AI digital workforce of more than 25 production agents.

FNG is what that career was building toward. He watched organizations adopt AI the way they once adopted the cloud: fast, fragmented, and without the governance that real operations demand. He founded Fortress NetGuard to close that gap, so organizations get the leverage of an AI workforce with the controls, auditability, and human oversight enterprise work requires. Numik is that conviction, shipped.
