A cloud-based service, Twingate’s aim is to eradicate the use of virtual private networks (VPN) as the solution of choice. Although not dissimilar to a VPN, Twingate enables users to set a software-based perimeter instead of risky VPN gateways and allows companies to control, to the smallest of details, who can govern access. Twingate’s model is unique as it grants access to an asset instead of a network, reducing the effects of a potential security breach to a single resource.

Twingate has seen impressive growth due to interest in zero-trust security, as companies move to meet the demands of distributed, hybrid work. It has already accrued customers including Bitpanda, Blend, Bloomreach and Cameo, with funding going towards growing its product as well as launching operations in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
