Our Quest For Better Security
Bowtie is on a mission to tackle unsolved network security challenges by engineering a faster, more resilient, zero-trust architecture alternative unrestricted by legacy constraints.
Innovation Born Out of Necessity
Bowtie was created by a team of enterprise security experts frustrated with outdated network security solutions that hindered user experience. After building their own successful platform to enable secure access, the founders realized the possibility of helping all organizations embrace the future with a fundamentally better approach. In mid-2022, Bowtie was founded around the vision of pioneering distributed software to establish encrypted overlays connecting devices directly with private resources.
By building protection into the connection architecture itself, Bowtie enables integrated zero trust environments without enduring the pitfalls of legacy network security models dependent on routing traffic through centralized middlemen. With evolving security threats and working models in the enterprise, Bowtie is on a mission to fundamentally upgrade network security technology to meet the demands of the future.
