Acceldata's Cloudbridge is a connectivity solution designed to simplify and secure enterprise data connectivity across diverse environments, including multi-cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and edge systems. By eliminating the need for traditional network configurations such as VPNs and complex firewall management, Cloudbridge leverages reverse connectivity patterns to establish outbound connections from data planes to a central control plane, thereby reducing the attack surface and operating within existing enterprise security policies. This approach integrates automated public key infrastructure (PKI) and secure tunneling to ensure continuous authentication, authorization, and monitoring, aligning with modern zero-trust security frameworks. Cloudbridge's automation-first operations manage certificate lifecycles and connection health without manual intervention, offering enhanced reliability and security while reducing deployment times from weeks to hours. The platform's architecture supports global consistency with local performance, ensuring security policy coherence across regions. As enterprises scale and adopt cloud-native technologies, Cloudbridge's identity-centric and automated security features aim to resolve the challenges of distributed systems, allowing organizations to focus on data rather than infrastructure complexities.
