Managing networks with static IPs, subnets, NAT, and firewalls is complex, fragile, and error-prone. As environments scale across cloud, hybrid, and mobile, traditional IP-based control falls apart. OpenZiti eliminates this headache by making identity—not IP—the core of your network. No more IP conflicts, no more guessing, just secure, zero-trust connectivity that works anywhere.
Implementing zero trust is a journey and every organization has different needs. Depending on your needs, one zero trust model may be better than another. Some organizations require different models for different needs. OpenZiti offers three distinct zero trust models, allowing your organization to form a zero trust overlay network that works best for you and allowing you to transform to a zero trust implementation at your own pace.
The most comprehensive approach to secure application to application communications.
Eliminates all network-related trust, including the host network
Network firewall operates in deny-by-default mode
OS firewall operates in deny-by-default mode (unauthorized east-west traffic is impossible)
The ultimate goal for organizations seeking comprehensive zero trust security.
Works with existing solutions by using an OpenZiti Tunneler

OS firewalls require inbound port rules per service
OpenZiti's unique capabilities redefine secure networking for the modern age.
IPs are not identities. OpenZiti leverages proven cryptographically verifiable identities.
Fine-grained authorization with posture checking ensures only valid identities are allowed to connect to services.
Services completely vanish from the internet, becoming invisible to attackers and scan tools.
SDK integration brings zero trust directly into your applications, no agents required.
The OpenZiti Fabric intelligently routes traffic through the optimal path for security and performance.
Libsodium-powered cryptography ensures data is secure in transit, always.
Authenticated, private DNS resolves service names to secure overlay tunnels, not IP addresses.
Single-port transport prevents service fingerprinting and port scanning vulnerabilities.
