Cloudbrink is designed for education, business, and IT leaders whose remote or hybrid learners, instructors, staff, and administrators struggle to be fully productive due to inconsistent network performance. Cloudbrink Personal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a high-performance connectivity and security service that delivers a lightning-fast, in-class or in-office experience to modern remote and hybrid learners and workers, wherever they are. Combining Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) with Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) and Personal Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), all connections are ultra-secure.
Cloudbrink enables K-12 and higher education institutions, as well as businesses and managed service providers, to reduce their networking expenses by up to 70% while enhancing network security, improving the remote and hybrid experiences for students, instructors, staff, and administrators, and increasing productivity across the entire learning community or organization.
Cloudbrink's AUTOMATED MOVING TARGET DEFENSE is a CYBERSECURITY MARKET DIFFERENTIATOR.
Personal SASE vendor Cloudbrink has been recognized as a Cool Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Cool Vendors™ in Enabling Efficient Cloud Operations Report.
Access Alliance for Education is also collaborating with Cloudbrink in the esports and game development markets.

Cloudbrink for Esports: Cloudbrink reduces network latency from 300 milliseconds to between 7 and 20 milliseconds.
Where Cloudbrink looks to differentiate is at a technical level through a series of innovations, including:
Distributed edge architecture: The company has decoupled software from hardware, allowing its platform to run across 800 data centers by leveraging public clouds, telco networks, and edge computing infrastructure. According to the company, this approach reduces network latency from 300 milliseconds to between 7 and 20 milliseconds. This density dramatically improves TCP performance and responsiveness.
Protocol optimization: Cloudbrink has developed its own algorithms for SD-WAN optimization, bringing enterprise-grade reliability to last-mile links. These algorithms significantly improve efficiency on consumer broadband connections, enabling enterprise-grade performance over standard internet links.
Integrated security stack: Cloudbrink has achieved secure speeds at line rate on our platform by integrating security directly into the networking stack. Rather than treating security as a separate overlay that degrades performance, Cloudbrink integrates security functions directly into the networking stack.

Prominent Positioning in Industry Report Follows Numerous Award Wins for Cloudbrink Innovation
SUNNYVALE, CA – July 8, 2025 – Cloudbrink, a leader in high-performance secure connectivity, today announced that respected industry analyst firm GigaOm has positioned Cloudbrink Personal SASE as a Leader and Fast Mover in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant of the ZTNA Radar chart. According to the report, “Cloudbrink excels in supporting distributed workforces with latency-sensitive applications through its unique acceleration capabilities that enhance performance while maintaining security.”
Cloudbrink scored well on a number of decision criteria in the GigaOm report, including “exceptional” ratings for Session Monitoring, and Unmanaged Device Support, and “superior” for Legacy Application Support.
In the Business Criteria section, Cloudbrink was top ranked, tied for the highest score. The report rated Cloudbrink “exceptional” for both cost and ease of use, and said, “As a 100% cloud-native SaaS solution, Cloudbrink enables rapid onboarding in minutes through its web-based management portal, with horizontal scaling capabilities to maintain performance as an organization grows. The solution demonstrates flexibility by supporting all popular use cases while delivering insights beyond typical offerings through additional high-fidelity telemetry, making it particularly suitable for latency-sensitive applications where other ZTNA solutions may struggle.”
The GigaOm Radar report examined 28 ZTNA solutions and compared offerings against the capabilities (table stakes, key features, and emerging features) and nonfunctional requirements (business criteria).
Consistent Accolades for Cloudbrink Innovation
Cloudbrink’s prominent position in the GigaOm Radar for ZTNA comes on the heels of several awards the company has recently received. In April Cloudbrink was awarded Most Innovative Secure Remote Access in the Cyber Defense Awards, at the RSA conference. Cloudbrink was also named Remote Work Tech Innovation of the Year in the RemoteTech Breakthrough Awards in June. Both awards selected Cloudbrink from thousands of nominations.
