Open-source Zero Trust networking platform for engineers
About NetBird
NetBird (formerly Wiretrustee) is a Berlin-based cybersecurity startup pioneering open-source, zero-trust networking built on WireGuard. Rebranded from Wiretrustee in 2022, the company enables developers and organizations to securely connect devices, servers, and cloud environments without the complexity of traditional VPNs or enterprise access gateways. NetBird’s technology combines identity-based access management, peer-to-peer connections, and policy-driven orchestration into a single lightweight network overlay, eliminating bottlenecks and centralized gateways that slow performance.
