About Enlink Cloud

Enlink Cloud, officially known as Jiangsu Yianlian Network Technology Co., Ltd., is a cybersecurity firm established in Nanjing, China. The company was founded in 2005 by Yang Zhengquan and eight other technical partners as Nanjing Yianlian Network Technology Co., Ltd. A computer science graduate, Yang Zhengquan began his career in 1997 in the anti-virus software sector, an industry then in its infancy. His early experience at Nanjing Shinyyuan, a pioneer in anti-virus technology in China, provided him with a deep technical foundation. Initially, the company focused on developing SSL VPN products to address the growing need for secure remote access and mobile office solutions.

Observing the evolution of network technologies and the blurring of traditional network boundaries due to cloud computing and mobile internet, the company shifted its strategic focus. This led to the establishment of Jiangsu Yianlian in 2017 to concentrate on the emerging 'Zero Trust' security model. The company identified that all cyber-attacks involve an access process and developed a product logic centered on dynamically authenticating and authorizing every access request. This 'never trust, always verify' approach forms the core of their offerings. Enlink Cloud was one of the first in China to launch a product based on Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) technology and subsequently developed a comprehensive Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) solution.

Enlink Cloud's business model revolves around providing Zero Trust security solutions to a diverse client base that includes government agencies, universities, telecommunication operators, and military-industrial complex enterprises. The company generates revenue by selling its specialized cybersecurity products and services. The product portfolio is designed to secure the entire access chain, from the user to the application. Key products include EnSDP (Zero Trust Secure Boundary Protection Platform), EnCASB (Zero Trust Cloud Application Security Access Platform), EnBox (Zero Trust Secure Workspace), EnIAM (Zero Trust Identity Management Platform), and EnAPI (Zero Trust Data Exchange Gateway). These solutions provide features such as fine-grained access control, dynamic user trust-level assessment, network cloaking, multi-factor authentication, and unified policy management to prevent unauthorized access and protect critical data.
