Problem
Traditional network security models rely on backhauling traffic through centralized points, leading to slower access, increased attack surfaces, and potential points of failure. Existing Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) often introduce slowdowns and privacy concerns due to cloud-based processing.
Solution
Bowtie is a distributed network security platform that establishes encrypted connections directly from devices to private resources, eliminating the need for traffic backhauling. Its Secure Web Gateway (SWG) functionality enforces security policies directly on devices, ensuring fast internet access without compromising user experience. Bowtie's distributed architecture creates a self-healing service mesh inside existing network infrastructure to manage encrypted overlays and policy configuration. The platform strengthens zero-trust architecture through continuous, context-aware authorization delivered via user-invisible agents.
Target Audience
Bowtie targets enterprises seeking faster, more resilient network security solutions that improve user experience while reducing attack surfaces.
