Cape Cybersecurity | an Inria Venture

Next-generation VPNs | Making cyberspace a safer place Securing data communications between users and services by placing them in a virtual secure network: • For organizations providing sensitive digital services or using critical digital infrastructures, their leaders worried about legal and financial implications, their users worried about data breaches • Who are dissatisfied with the current alternatives because of their limitations in terms of security (passwords, OTP), certificates, scalability, • And want safer communications with smoother user experience and easier administration experience • Our solution is a new service offering: secure virtual networks provided As-a-Service • That provides key problem-solving capabilities: Authentication of any user and service both at the network level and the service level, plus End-to-End encryption between users and services • And enables the users to benefit from: a) reduced attack surface by hiding all services, b) auditing by providing the non-repudiation property, and c) on-demand elasticity and rapid deployment • Unlike direct and indirect alternatives such as a) traditional VPNs provided by telco operators (predefined logical tunnels, eg MPLS), b) IAM providers (password and/or MFA, eg Otka) and c) ZTNA/SASE/SSE providers (traffic interception, eg PaloAlto, Zscaler). • Thanks to an innovative and more holistic approach using a leading-edge architecture secured by blockchain technology.
