About NetFoundry
NetFoundry’s Identity-First Connectivity enables universal secure networking. This includes securing NHI workloads such as APIs and AI, replacing VPNs for hybrid cloud, multicloud and B2B, and providing secure access and microsegmentation for OT and IoT. NetFoundry’s new model unshackles operations and development teams from networking complexity. Automation replaces configuration, identities replace IPs and zero trust is baked into the network rather than bolted-on later.
NetFoundry Story
NetFoundry leaders took many startups from idea to IPO, and helped lead some of the world’s most successful companies. Although each company was different, a common challenge was the difficulty of secure networking. An answer became clear: stop fighting the old model, and instead reinvent it. NetFoundry was born. NetFoundry open sourced OpenZiti, creating the Linux of secure networking, and NetFoundry’s Identity-First Networking™ products secure over 30 million sessions per day for some of the world’s largest companies, including for finance, healthcare and critical infrastructure.
NetFoundry’s vision was to enable effortlessly extraordinary networking by:
- Untangling secure networking from underlying infrastructure – reinventing networking as software.
- Democratizing military-grade security without compromising simplicity.
- Enabling teams to shift left and shift down to add secure by design networking to their development and operations platform.
- Unshackling developers and operations from networking complexity, transforming networking from a cost center to an innovation center.
- Open sourcing core parts of the software to create the Linux of networking.
The resultant platform is purpose-built to meet the needs of modern business and application topologies, and now securely delivers billions of sessions per year.
