About NetFoundry
Networking was once a barrier to app innovation and automation with dependencies on after-the-fact security and performance engineering. NetFoundry is shifting the paradigm in cybersecurity by embedding zero trust networking and security as code. Our NetFoundry Cloud solution embeds zero trust as software into apps, APIs, IoT devices, and other valuable assets rendering critical infrastructure invisible to the internet – and unreachable by potential attackers. It is the world’s first programmable, cloud native, zero trust network with near unlimited scale concurrency, and performance. NetFoundry Cloud represents a new art of the impossible by enabling developers, network engineers, DevOps, and cloud teams to programmatically control private, zero trust, high performance networking. NetFoundry Cloud is built on NetFoundry’s Ziti platform which is part of the OpenZiti project, the world’s most used and widely integrated open source networking platform.
