Zero Trust Network Access
Zero Trust networking, without the middleman.
Bowtie connects your users directly to private apps and the internet, with no vendor cloud in the middle of your traffic. Your data and keys never leave your control.

Zerotraffic through our cloud
The problem with cloud-delivered security
Your security vendor should not sit in the middle of your traffic.
Most Zero Trust and SASE products route your traffic through their cloud to inspect it. That adds latency, creates a new single point of failure, and puts your data and encryption keys in someone else's infrastructure.
Backhaul latency
Routing every packet to a distant cloud gateway and back slows down the apps your people use all day.
A new point of failure
When the vendor cloud has an outage, your access goes down with it. You inherit their reliability instead of your own.
Your data leaves your control
Decryption keys and traffic live in a provider's cloud, a structural conflict with ITAR, CMMC, and data residency rules.
One platform
One platform for every connection.
Replace your VPN, ZTNA, and Secure Web Gateway with a single Zero Trust platform that runs in your own infrastructure.
Private Access
ZTNA without the backhaul
Direct, least-privilege access to private apps and networks. 20 to 50 percent faster than cloud gateways, with no traffic detour.
Internet Access
Secure Web Gateway, on the device
Web filtering and DNS security enforced at the endpoint. Your browsing never detours through a vendor cloud to be inspected.
Network Unity
Segment in minutes, not months
Connect sites, clouds, and data centers into one encrypted overlay. Drop Bowtie into any environment with no re-IPing.
Modern UX
Invisible by design
User-invisible agents handle authentication and enforcement in the background. Security your people never have to think about.
The Bowtie difference
No middleman cloud.
No middleman markup.
Bowtie controllers run in your own cloud or data center. Connections go directly from your devices to your resources, so we are never in the path of your traffic or your data.
Your traffic stays in your control
Connections flow directly between your devices and your resources. There is no cloud proxy and no inspection point.
Your keys never leave
Encryption keys are generated and stored in your environment. Bowtie never holds them and never sees your traffic.
No single point of failure
A distributed control plane keeps enforcing policy through partitions and outages. Your access does not depend on Bowtie staying online.
Built for sovereignty
Because traffic never crosses a vendor cloud, there is no structural conflict with ITAR, CMMC, or data residency requirements.

Bowtie vs. the status quo
The same security model, a very different architecture.
| Bowtie | Zscaler | Prisma SASE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Direct device to resource, no middleman network | Cloud gateway | Legacy IPSec tunneling |
| Encryption keys | Never leave your control | Stored in Zscaler's cloud | Hosted on Prisma Access |
| Control plane | Decentralized, no central cloud | Hosted in the cloud, subject to outages | Hosted in the cloud |
| Add-on pricing | Everything included in the platform | Many add-ons | Many add-ons |
Why teams switch“Usability and security are not often lumped together in the same terms, but Bowtie does exactly that. From installation to setup to deployment, it was a breeze. You get top-tier granular access control with minimal user disruption. Bowtie just works.”
