Open-source zero trust networking for applications and infrastructure.
OpenZiti is a platform for building secure, zero-trust connectivity into any application or network. Every connection is authenticated with cryptographic identity, authorized by policy, and encrypted end-to-end.
In traditional networking, services are exposed, and security is layered around them. OpenZiti inverts this: services are invisible by default, and network paths exist only once an identity is fully authorized, whether that identity belongs to a user, service, device, or workload. Projects like openziti/mcp-gateway and openziti/llm-gateway show what this looks like in practice for securing AI agent infrastructure.
OpenZiti is fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. All core networking functionality is in the open-source project. NetFoundry, which created and sponsors OpenZiti, offers a managed service built on the same platform.
