About

NetFoundry is a cybersecurity company based in Charlotte, United States working in network security, identity & access, cloud security +2 more.

NetFoundry provides identity-first Zero Trust connectivity and microsegmentation for AI agents, APIs, sites, cloud and datacenter workloads, and OT and IoT environments. Its model makes services unreachable by default: endpoints connect outbound-only, open no inbound ports, and establish paths only after cryptographic identity and policy are verified. The platform is available as SaaS, on-premises, or fully air-gapped deployment, and as an embeddable SDK that lets software and device makers ship Zero Trust connectivity within their own products. NetFoundry created and maintains the open-source OpenZiti project, on which its managed control plane, FIPS-validated cryptography, and enterprise features are built. Its use cases include site-to-site connectivity without VPNs, API security, OT segmentation for unpatchable assets, vendor and OEM access, and governance of AI workloads.

Products

Zero Trust AI Enclave

View

Zero Trust AI security

Private, policy-governed overlay that gives each AI agent, LLM and MCP server a cryptographic identity and authorizes connections before a routable path exists, with identity-based logging and AI token cost tracking.

MCP Gateway

AI access control

Authenticates AI agents to Model Context Protocol servers using workload identities instead of shared secrets, limiting each agent to the tools its policy permits.

LLM Gateway

AI access control

Manages external and internal LLMs with usage policies, load balancing, failover and semantic routing between public and private models.
