What is NetBird?
NetBird is an open-source Zero Trust Network Access platform that provides secure and reliable connectivity. It uses WireGuard to establish an overlay network, serving IT and Engineering teams who need to connect remote users, hybrid-cloud infrastructure, and edge devices. The platform aims to replace traditional VPN solutions with an identity-based approach. IT and Engineering teams use NetBird to enable least privilege network access and provision users from their identity providers. They can segment networks, define granular access policies, and enforce multi-factor authentication and device security checks. The platform also allows for centralized network management and integrates with various identity providers.
