NetFoundry — Zero Trust Workload Connectivity for Every AI, API, and Machine Interaction
NetFoundry is the identity-first Zero Trust networking platform built for a world where humans, APIs, workloads, OT/IoT devices, and AI agents all need to connect securely — without expanding your attack surface to do it.
Most breaches trace back to one root cause: reachability. Legacy networking — VPNs, MPLS, SD-WAN, firewall rules — creates network paths that exist before identity is ever checked, and that reachability becomes breachability. NetFoundry eliminates it. With NetFoundry, no routable network path exists until a connection's cryptographic identity is authenticated and authorized by policy. Every endpoint connects outbound-only, so there are no open inbound ports, no public-facing services, and nothing for scanners or attackers to find.
One platform, six use cases:
AI Security – Deploy Zero Trust AI Enclaves that give every AI agent, MCP server, and LLM endpoint its own cryptographic identity. Agents and MCP servers never hold API keys or shared secrets, and policy — not network location — governs what each identity can reach. Built-in AI token tracking supports cost accounting, optimization, and usage limits, so governance keeps pace with how fast AI is deployed.
API Security – Keep APIs invisible until authentication and authorization are complete, cutting internet-facing API attack surface dramatically and denying automated scanners anything to exploit.
Site-to-Site Connectivity – Connect sites, clouds, and partner networks over outbound-only paths so a breach at one location can't spread to the rest.
Microsegmentation – Stop lateral movement with segmentation delivered as policy, not network redesign — deployable in an afternoon, no VLAN or firewall changes required.
OT & IoT Connectivity – Secure legacy and industrial systems that can't be patched or taken offline, with no agents on controllers and zero production downtime.
Product Builders - NetFoundry runs everything behind the scenes — the managed control plane, identity, key rotation, and scale. You ship a finished, branded product instead of building and operating a Zero Trust network yourself.
NetFoundry is built on OpenZiti, the open-source Zero Trust networking project NetFoundry created and maintains — so the code moving your traffic is fully auditable, with no hidden behavior or vendor lock-in. On top of that open core, NetFoundry adds a managed control plane, global fabric, and enterprise support, deployable as SaaS, self-hosted, or fully air-gapped.
NetFoundry supports Zero Trust architectures aligned with PCI-DSS, NIST 800-207, IEC 62443, NERC CIP, NIS2, DORA, HIPAA, EU CRA, SOC 2 Type II, FIPS, and CJIS, and is trusted by more than 3,000 companies, including 2 of the 5 largest U.S. companies and 8 of the 10 largest U.S. banks, securing over 1 billion sessions per month.
Whether you're locking down agentic AI, closing API exposure, connecting distributed sites, containing lateral movement, or protecting OT/IoT infrastructure — NetFoundry gives you one identity-first fabric that makes unauthorized access impossible by design, not by patchwork.
