Who is iboss?
iboss is a cloud-based cybersecurity platform that delivers secure access to applications and internet resources through a Zero Trust and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture for distributed enterprises.
- Cloud-delivered Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and internet security services (secure web gateway / cloud security).
- Zero Trust Network Access for private applications without traditional VPNs (Zero Trust Network Access).
- SASE-aligned security service that converges networking and security in the cloud (SASE / network security).
- Web and content filtering, malware protection, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for users and devices (web security / data protection).
- Security controls and policy management delivered as a cloud platform for remote, branch, and on-premises (on-prem) users (cloud security platform).

More About iboss
iboss provides a cloud security platform (cloud security) used by enterprises and public sector organizations to secure user access to the internet, cloud applications, and private applications. The platform follows Zero Trust and SASE design principles, moving network security controls from traditional on-prem appliances into a distributed cloud service. Organizations deploy iboss to apply consistent security policies to users regardless of location, including headquarters, branch offices, and remote or mobile users.
The iboss platform (cloud security platform) functions as a SWG (secure web gateway), inspecting and filtering web traffic to enforce acceptable use policies, block malicious destinations, and detect malware. It also provides capabilities such as SSL/TLS decryption, URL and content categorization, and threat detection based on signatures and behavioral analysis. These functions are delivered through a globally distributed cloud infrastructure that users connect to via lightweight agents, agents on endpoints, or routing configurations from branch routers and firewalls.
In addition to internet security, iboss offers Zero Trust Network Access (Zero Trust Network Access) for private applications. Instead of exposing applications directly on the network or using traditional VPNs, iboss brokers connections through its cloud service, authenticating users and devices and applying granular access controls. This aligns with Zero Trust architectures, where access is granted based on identity, device posture, and policy rather than network location. Integration with identity providers and Single Sign-On (SSO) platforms supports centralized identity-based policy enforcement.
iboss is often categorized in enterprise directories under SWG, cloud access security, Zero Trust Network Access, and SASE. It integrates with common enterprise technologies such as directory services, identity and access management systems, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms, and endpoint protection tools. The platform uses standard web protocols (HTTP/HTTPS), Virtual Private Network (VPN) and tunneling methods where needed, and APIs for management and integration. Centralized management consoles allow security teams to define policies, monitor traffic, and generate reports across all users and locations.
For organizations moving applications and data to public cloud services and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms, iboss provides a way to keep security controls in the network path without requiring backhauling traffic to a data center. This can reduce dependence on hardware-based web proxies or firewalls and align network security with cloud-first and remote work strategies. By delivering security as a service from the cloud, iboss fits into categories focused on network security modernization, Zero Trust adoption, and SASE-aligned architectures in enterprise and institutional environments.
