About Twingate
Twingate sells a zero trust network access platform that replaces traditional VPNs. It provides identity-based access for users, services, and AI agents. The platform deploys in minutes and scales to every resource. It is designed for remote access to office networks, cloud VPCs, and private resources. The company targets organisations with a distributed workforce, including fast-growing companies and those in fintech, gaming, and technology. Twingate works by binding every connection to a verified identity and a healthy device. It uses direct peer-to-peer tunnels between user and resource, so traffic does not pass through Twingate's cloud. Access is denied by default and granted per resource. Security policies can enforce authentication, device posture, location, and time limits. The platform integrates with identity providers, device management tools, and infrastructure as code. It also offers privileged access for Kubernetes and SSH, and secure internet access with DNS filtering.
