Company / About CloakNet

We believe the safest network is the one nobody can see

CloakNet was founded on a simple observation: most breaches begin with something that was reachable when it didn't need to be. We build the technology that removes that reachability — without removing connectivity.

Our story

From the plant floor to the cloud edge

CloakNet grew out of years of hands-on work connecting the hardest environments there are: factories, remote field sites, kiosks and critical infrastructure — places where downtime is measured in money and exposure is measured in risk. We watched teams juggle VPN concentrators, port forwards and vendor backdoors, and knew there had to be a better model.

That model is zero trust networking. We build on proven open zero trust overlay technology and pair it with industrial-grade hardware we engineer for the field, so the same security fabric extends from a cloud VPC to a PLC on a −30 °C hillside.

What we stand for
  • Dark by default. Reachability is a privilege, granted per identity, never assumed.
  • Open foundations. We build on open zero trust technology — no lock-in, full transparency.
  • Field-grade engineering. If it can't survive a factory floor, it doesn't ship.
  • Operator empathy. Security that's painful to run doesn't get run. Ours is simple to deploy and simpler to live with.
What we build

Two halves of one platform

⬡

The CloakNet overlay

A zero trust networking fabric that connects sites, applications, APIs, OT assets and AI workloads over outbound-only, identity-authenticated, end-to-end encrypted sessions.

▣

CloakNet edge hardware

Industrial cellular and Ethernet routers — beginning with the CN350W-4G — that carry the fabric to the last meter: dual-SIM LTE, serial buses, Modbus and MQTT.
