Who is Cloud Gateway?
Cloud Gateway is a UK-based Network as a Service (NaaS) provider that delivers secure, software-defined connectivity between enterprise networks, cloud platforms, and public sector networks.
- Hybrid cloud and multi-cloud connectivity services for enterprises and public sector bodies.
- Software Defined Networking (SDN) (SD-WAN) and virtual routing for connecting data centres, branch offices, and cloud environments (networking).
- Secure access to UK government and public sector networks such as Planetary Surface Network (PSN), HSCN, and other private network services (network security).
- Managed network security controls including firewalls, encryption, and traffic segmentation (network security).
- Consulting and managed services around cloud connectivity design, migration, and ongoing operations.

More About
Cloud Gateway focuses on NaaS offerings that connect enterprise and public sector environments to multiple cloud service providers, data centres, and legacy on-premises (on-prem) estates. Its core proposition is a software-defined connectivity layer that allows organisations to route and secure traffic between sites, users, and applications across hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. This is commonly used where organisations consume services from hyperscale cloud providers while retaining systems in private data centres or specialised government networks.
The company’s services align with software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) architectures, virtual routing, and cloud-native networking constructs. Customers typically integrate Cloud Gateway with major public cloud platforms using standard technologies such as Virtual Private Network (VPN), private connectivity options, and virtual network appliances, while using the provider’s central platform to manage policy and routing. This allows network teams to abstract connectivity from individual physical circuits and manage traffic based on application and security requirements rather than fixed point-to-point links.
For UK public sector and regulated organisations, Cloud Gateway also provides connectivity into government and health networks such as the Public Services Network (PSN) and the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN), as well as other private network services that require assured security posture and compliance. This positions the company within categories such as secure network access, government network aggregation, and managed connectivity. Security controls typically include firewalling, network segmentation, encryption, and inspection points placed at the interconnect between enterprise networks and external services.
From a marketplace taxonomy perspective, Cloud Gateway fits within enterprise networking, Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), and secure cloud connectivity solution areas, with managed service capabilities layered on top. Its offerings are used by organisations that require controlled connectivity between distributed users, branch locations, data centres, and workloads running across different cloud providers. This is relevant for IT leaders designing network architectures that support cloud migration, legacy application access, zero-trust style segmentation, and consolidation of multiple external connections into a single managed platform.
In enterprise environments, Cloud Gateway’s propositions are often evaluated alongside other network service providers and SD-WAN vendors, but with a specific orientation toward UK public sector connectivity requirements and hybrid cloud routing. The technical focus is on predictable performance, policy-based Traffic Engineering (TE), and consistent security controls when accessing cloud services and sensitive government networks, allowing organisations to standardise how they connect, secure, and monitor traffic across diverse infrastructure estates.
