FAQ
How does NetFoundry implement zero trust networking?
NetFoundry utilizes identity-based authentication, continuous authorization, and microsegmentation to enforce zero trust principles. It provides secure connectivity between endpoints without needing to provide access to entire networks.
What are the deployment options available with NetFoundry?
NetFoundry offers flexible deployment options, including cloud, on-premise, and hybrid models. NetFoundry Cloud is entirely hosted and managed by NetFoundry. NetFoundry Hybrid Cloud enable customers to extend the NetFoundry networks and infrastructure to on-premise or private clouds. NetFoundry OnPremise is self-hosted, self-managed by the customer and supports deploying air-gapped environments.
How can NetFoundry integrate with our existing applications?
NetFoundry provides open-source SDKs, APIs and tools to integrate with your applications and systems and seamlessly embed zero trust networking into applications.
How is NetFoundry different from an SD-WAN?
SD-WANs connect networks. NetFoundry connects applications. The two approached are very different. SD-WANs connect multiple sites integrating features like firewalls and secure gateways, relying on the traditional network perimeter. NetFoundry uses a zero trust security model, which means that it doesn’t assume trust for any user or device by default. It builds security into the network fabric itself, ensuring that connections are only established after verifying identity and security posture. Unlike SD-WANs that connect multiple networks, NetFoundry connects applications, devices, and users securely over any network, without needing to connect entire networks. It provides secure, software-defined networking as code, making it highly adaptable and scalable. It prevents network access and lateral movement.
How is NetFoundry different from VPNs?
NetFoundry differs from VPNs by providing a zero trust, software-defined networking solution that eliminates traditional network vulnerabilities like holes in firewalls, open ports, network access and lateral network movement. Unlike VPNs, which rely on centralized gateways and broad network access, NetFoundry uses application-specific, encrypted connections (AppNets) that do not depend on physical infrastructure. This approach offers greater security, scalability, and performance by enabling direct, secure connections between devices, users, and applications without introducing bottlenecks or single points of failure. NetFoundry simplifies network management with a cloud-native console, making it easier to deploy and manage secure, high-performance AppNets across any environment.
