What Firezone does
Firezone connects your workforce to the computing resources they need, wherever they are, securely. Unlike traditional VPNs, Firezone uses a least-privileged approach to access control known as Zero Trust Access. Connect your identity provider and define granular policies in minutes, then rejoice in the IT support requests you won't receive due to our lightweight, WireGuard-powered clients which work great on all platforms.

Firezone
Easiest way to set up Zero Trust Access
We're building Firezone, a Zero Trust Access platform that replaces traditional VPNs. It connects your workforce securely to company resources by integrating with identity providers and enforcing least-privilege policies. Our clients use WireGuard under the hood to keep connections fast, reliable, and easy to deploy on any platform. IT teams can set up granular access controls in minutes and then avoid support tickets caused by clunky connections.
We live in San Francisco and will keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco has the ecosystem and talent we need to build network security tooling and reach our target B2B customers.
