Description

Cloudbrink's secure access service boosts employee productivity and morale. For IT and business leaders whose remote employees cannot be fully productive due to inconsistent network performance, Cloudbrink’s HAaaS is a high-performance zero-trust access service that delivers a lightning-fast, in-office experience to the modern hybrid workforce anywhere. Unlike traditional ZTNA and VPN solutions that trade off security for user performance, frustrate employees, and slow productivity, Cloudbrink’s service secures user connections and solves the end-to-end performance issues that other solutions fail to address. Cloudbrink's Automated Moving Target Defense security is ahead of any other secure access solution. Rated by Gartner as the "future of security", Cloudbrink is leading the way. By constantly changing the attack surface, it is significantly harder to identify and attack a Cloudbrink user's connection. ==> Certificates are rotated every 8 hours or less ==> There are no fixed PoPs - users connect to three temporary FAST edges ==> The mid-mile path is constantly changed If you are looking for the fastest most secure remote access connectivity solution, you have found it with Cloudbrink.

Description

OpenVPN Access Server is a self-hosted Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution you deploy into your own environment — on-prem or your AWS, Azure, or GCP account — so tunnel traffic and configuration never touch a third-party network. Access is enforced by application, not IP or subnet: each user reaches only the app they're entitled to, identified by domain name, with no visibility into anything else. That structurally blocks lateral movement — there's no connectivity path for a breach to exploit. With Access Server Link, deployment is a guided setup (hostname, cloud, region, password) with SSL certificates auto-provisioned and renewed, removing manual cert management as an attack surface. Entitlements tie to hostname, so they survive IP changes and autoscaling without rework. Your instance stays fully under your control, preserving the data ownership and audit posture required for HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR — full sovereignty over the control plane, with SaaS-level simplicity. The admin portal replaces SSH-based management: users, certificates, and access policies are configured through a browser, so shell access isn't required, shrinking your attack surface. The Zero Trust App Broker mediates every connection through a placeholder IP scoped to one authorized application — users never learn the real destination, so a compromised credential can't be used to probe or discover other systems. This enforces least privilege by design, not just by policy that can drift or be misconfigured. Client apps span Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, so identity- and application-based controls apply consistently across devices. Deployment runs through preconfigured templates on AWS, Azure, and GCP, giving security teams repeatable, auditable rollouts.
