BastionZero (acquired by Cloudflare)

About

BastionZero is a Zero Trust infrastructure access platform based in Boston, founded by a Boston University professor. The company focuses on securing remote access to critical IT infrastructure, including servers, Kubernetes clusters, and databases. Recently acquired by Cloudflare, BastionZero enhances Cloudflare's secure access service edge platform, Cloudflare One. BastionZero's technology employs a unique cryptographic method using OpenPubkey and OpenID Connect, which ensures secure and efficient access without traditional long-lived credentials. This approach simplifies zero-trust practices and reduces reliance on outdated security measures. The company also offers clientless RDP access, allowing users to securely access desktop environments without needing additional client installations. BastionZero's solutions support modern workplace flexibility by enabling secure access to critical systems from anywhere.
