What is OpenZiti?
OpenZiti is a free, open-source zero-trust networking platform that makes network services invisible to unauthorized users. The project provides everything you need to create a zero trust overlay network - controllers, routers, tunnelers, and SDKs - so you can secure both existing applications and new ones. Whether you add zero trust at the network level, the host level, or directly inside your application, every connection is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted end to end.
An Example of an OpenZiti Overlay Network
In OpenZiti You Will Find
- A zero trust overlay mesh network composed of a controller, edge routers, and fabric routers
- Lightweight tunnelers that add zero trust to existing applications with no code changes
- SDKs for embedding zero trust directly into your application for the strongest security posture
- Zero trust principles such as authorize before connect, continual authorization, least-privilege access
OpenZiti gives you zero trust, high performance networking on any Internet connection, without VPNs. Add it to existing applications with tunnelers, or embed it directly with our SDKs for the strongest posture.
