OpenZiti

OpenZiti is a free and open source project focused on bringing zero trust networking principles directly into any application. The project provides all the pieces required to implement a zero trust overlay network and provides all the tools necessary to integrate zero trust into your existing solutions. Key capabilities include: • Zero Trust Network Overlay: Programmable mesh network with intelligent routing for security and performance • SDK Integration: Embed zero trust directly into applications without agents or VPN requirements • Multi-Platform Support: Works across Windows, macOS, Linux, and cloud environments • Application-Embedded Security: Identity-based networking that eliminates IP-based trust models • Cryptographic Security: Libsodium-powered encryption ensures data security in transit • Private DNS: Authenticated DNS resolution to secure overlay tunnels instead of IP addresses • Three Zero Trust Models: Supports Zero Trust Application Access, Zero Trust Host Access, and Zero Trust Network Access OpenZiti is sponsored by NetFoundry and is actively deployed in US defense contractors, large OT/ICS automation OEMs, critical infrastructure, and cybersecurity companies. The platform makes it easy to embed zero trust, programmable networking directly into applications for high-performance networking on any Internet connection without traditional VPNs.
