NetFoundry is a software-defined networking platform designed to provide secure and high-performance connectivity for distributed applications, IoT devices, and edge computing environments. This versatile solution caters to organizations of all sizes, ranging from small businesses to large enterprises. According to the vendor, NetFoundry's features are intended to benefit IT professionals, network engineers, DevOps and cloud architects, IoT developers and solution providers, as well as retail and e-commerce companies, and manufacturing and industrial companies.

Secure IoT management and networking: NetFoundry offers built-in X.509 certificate authentication to create a private IoT network overlay with botnet and DDoS protection. It aims to minimize the attack surface by eliminating open inbound firewall ports and provides microsegmentation to help protect against data exfiltration.

Low latency IoT management and networking: NetFoundry's platform aims to eliminate VPN backhaul and reduce cloud egress costs by routing each session directly from the device to its individual destination. It utilizes full mesh, multipoint networking and automatic dynamic routing across multiple tier one networks to achieve low latency.

Flexible IoT management and networking: NetFoundry's software-only and cloud orchestrated solution provides flexibility with open-source and SaaS options. It aims to enable zero-trust endpoints for any app, device, edge, or cloud, allowing the use of public cellular and WiFi networks.

Low cost, high velocity IoT management and networking: NetFoundry's software-only solution aims to eliminate the need for extra security and networking hardware, VPNs, and bastions, offering a cost-effective approach. It aims to enable quick deployments across any set of edges and clouds, utilizing public cellular and WiFi networks to reduce costs.

Zero Trust APIs. As Code.: According to the vendor, NetFoundry's platform enables the closing of inbound firewall ports to strengthen API security. It offers self-hosted and SaaS models, all based on open-source technology.

The First Security Cloud for Zero Trust APIs: NetFoundry's Security Cloud, according to the vendor, is specifically built for APIs, providing a secure and open-source-based solution available in self-hosted and SaaS options.

Zero Trust Webhook Security - AWS Lambda example: NetFoundry's zero-trust webhook security aims to ensure strong identity, authentication, authorization, least privileged access, and micro-segmentation. It simplifies the consumption of AWS Lambda webhooks by eliminating the need for IP address, ACL, and firewall management.

The Challenge of Securing API Networking: NetFoundry aims to help organizations secure their API networking by applying a claims-based approach to layer 3, blocking unauthorized sessions before they can reach the network. It aims to enable identification, authentication, and authorization of API clients before granting network access.

Private app delivery, made simple: NetFoundry allows wrapping apps with a few lines of code using their SDKs, making them unreachable from networks. It aims to provide end-to-end visibility, control, and security across any network, closing all inbound firewall ports and link listeners.

Zero Trust Multicloud Networking: NetFoundry aims to enable zero-trust connections between multiple clouds, replacing VPNs and MPLS. It aims to simplify network management and provide secure and scalable networking solutions for multicloud environments.
