Get started with OpenZiti
Learn how to set up your own open-source zero-trust network overlay and start securing your applications, whether you're working with existing software or building something new.
OpenZiti works with your applications at whatever level makes sense. Use lightweight tunnelers to add zero trust to existing applications with no code changes, or embed our SDKs directly for the strongest security posture. Either way, your services stay dark: no open ports, no public endpoints, no exposure to unauthorized users.
