View company profile

At the heart of Twingate is a mission to redefine how organizations secure and manage access to their critical resources in an increasingly distributed world. Founded in 2019, Twingate emerged from the realization that traditional remote access technologies, predominantly VPNs, had not kept pace with the evolution of cloud computing and modern work practices. The founders, Tony Huie, Alex Marshall, and Lior Rozner, recognized that the complexities and usability challenges of legacy systems were significant barriers for companies seeking more robust and agile security solutions. This understanding became the cornerstone of Twingate's philosophy: to deliver enterprise-grade security with consumer-grade usability. The company is built on the principle that effective security should not come at the expense of user experience or administrative simplicity.

Twingate's culture is deeply rooted in innovation and a customer-centric approach. They champion the Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) model, a modern security framework that operates on the principle of 'never trust, always verify.' This means that every request to access a resource is meticulously checked and authenticated, regardless of whether the user is inside or outside the traditional network perimeter. This approach significantly enhances security by minimizing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement in the event of a breach. Twingate is committed to making this advanced security accessible to organizations of all sizes, empowering IT administrators to easily configure software-defined perimeters and centrally manage user access to applications, whether they reside on-premises or in the cloud. As a remote-first company with a core team in Redwood City, California, and distributed teams globally, Twingate embodies the flexible and secure work environment it strives to create for its customers. Backed by leading investors, Twingate is dedicated to continuous improvement and to providing solutions that are not only secure but also intuitive, maintainable, and reliable for both IT professionals and end-users alike.
