If you’ve ever dealt with slow VPNs, or clunky ZTNA agents that degrade app performance, you’re not alone. Many IT teams are stuck balancing security with usability—and often end up sacrificing both. Here is a different approach. The high-performance ZTNA service that is part of a personal SASE solution from Cloudbrink can upgrade or replace traditional VPNs while fixing the performance and complexity that come from other vendors in the ZTNA and SASE space. Built as a software-only service, Cloudbrink delivers sub-20ms latency and 1Gbps+ speeds per user using dynamically deployed FAST edges and a proprietary protocol that recovers packet loss before it impacts the app. Security isn’t bolted on—it’s built in. With mutual TLS 1.3, short-lived certs, and no exposed IPs, Cloudbrink provides real zero trust without making users suffer through poor connections or overloaded POPs. If you’ve been burned by “next-gen” solutions that still feel like 2008, it might be time for something new.

Auth0 takes a modern approach to Identity, providing secure access to any application, for any user. Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™. Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control. Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO.

Kitecyber unifies data loss prevention, secure web gateway, zero trust private access, SaaS protection, device management, and Gen AI security, no appliances, no separate consoles, and deployment in about a day. Data security that keeps up with your data. Kitecyber classifies sensitive information with LLM-powered, context-aware intelligence across 80+ categories (PII, PHI, PCI, source code, IP) at over 90% accuracy — not brittle keyword matching. It tracks data lineage through transformations like screenshots, encoding, and file conversion that defeat traditional scanners, and enforces policy inline before data ever leaves the device. Gen AI security for the age of AI agents. Kitecyber tracks sensitive data pasted or uploaded into tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and blocks it before it leaves the endpoint. It discovers shadow AI apps reaching your devices and extends visibility to the AI agents now acting on your users' behalf — a blind spot for identity- and network-based tools. Trusted and proven.
