NetBird

NetBird is an open-source Zero Trust Networking platform designed to make it simpler to deploy secure private networks for modern organizations.

Built on the trusted, high-performance WireGuard® protocol, NetBird aims to eliminate the limitations of traditional VPNs by establishing high-throughput, low-latency decentralized private networks. NetBird’s architecture provides a single management console to enforce granular, identity-based access policies, integrating with your existing Identity Provider (IdP) for SSO and MFA.

With native and built-in integration with any identity provider of choice, devices, servers, and cloud resources form direct, encrypted tunnels to each other. A central control center gives full visibility and simple, point-and-click management for remote access. NetBird's decentralized architecture has several benefits:

• Zero bottlenecks: Traffic flows directly between peers, eliminating the latency and bandwidth limits caused by routing through a central gateway.

• Enhanced resilience: With no single point of failure, NetBird ensures continuous connectivity. If an on-premises data center goes down, users can still reach cloud resources and cloud-to-cloud links remain fully operational.

• Scalability and privacy: NetBird’s lightweight client runs on each peer, while its cloud-based management plane handles authentication, key exchange, and policy distribution. Because data traffic never passes through the management service, organizations can maintain maximum performance, privacy, and scalability and full ownership of data.

• NetBird integrates with CrowdStrike, Microsoft Intune, SentinelOne, pfSense, OPNsense, and many others. NetBird also empowers MSPs to securely manage and connect multiple customer networks through a single, unified platform.

The solution can be used for:

• Simple Secure Remote Access, connecting anything, anywhere
• Zero-Config Deployment: Replace legacy VPNs with a peer-to-peer WireGuard®-based network
• IdP integrations for SSO and MFA
• Dynamic Posture Checks and Device Compliance for Zero Trust
• Centralized Network Management
• Detailed Activity Logging and Auditing
• Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Connectivity
• Access Control & Micro-Segmentation
• Multi-Tenant Management for MSPs: Manage all customer networks securely from one unified dashboard
