About us
We are reimagining the tools used to manage remote access to servers, containers and clusters in the cloud. Our next-generation zero-trust security model eliminates single points of compromise that are created by traditional remote-access tools. Our architecture simplifies remote access by immutably logging user actions and eliminating the need to manage self-hosted jumphosts, SSH keys
and VPNs.
BastionZero was founded by a cybersecurity professor and cybersecurity PhD out of Boston University and is backed by VCs including Underscore and Slow Ventures.
