What is NetFoundry?

NetFoundry is an identity-first Zero Trust networking platform built to secure workload connectivity across applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, data centers, AI agents, industrial systems, and distributed sites. The platform is based on OpenZiti, the open source Zero Trust networking technology created and maintained by NetFoundry. Rather than connecting systems primarily by IP address, NetFoundry assigns cryptographic identities to workloads and uses policy to determine which identities can communicate with specific services. Authorized sessions are established through outbound-only, end-to-end encrypted connections, leaving protected services without inbound ports that can be scanned or directly attacked. This architecture can reduce reliance on traditional VPNs, firewall rules, network address translation, static routes, and IP allowlists when connecting distributed workloads. Identity-based microsegmentation allows teams to create least-privilege paths between individual services and helps limit lateral movement if one system is compromised. Site-to-site capabilities connect clouds, branches, plants, partner networks, and other environments without requiring conventional tunnel management or unique IP address ranges. NetFoundry also provides controls for AI agents so organizations can govern machine-to-machine access, apply consistent policies, and track interactions across AI infrastructure. API security capabilities can keep services unreachable until authentication and authorization are complete, while OT and IoT features help secure legacy or sensitive environments without modifying individual controllers. Software vendors and solution providers can embed NetFoundry connectivity into their own products to reach customer environments without requiring customers to expose inbound ports or configure traditional VPN access.
