Twingate vs Aleph Alpha

About

Twingate is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Redwood City, California that provides a zero trust network access (ZTNA) platform designed to replace traditional VPN infrastructure for enterprises managing remote and hybrid workforces. Founded in 2019, Twingate raised $42 million in venture capital and was built on the principle that VPN's all-or-nothing network access model — where an authenticated user receives broad access to entire network segments — is fundamentally incompatible with the principle of least privilege and creates excessive lateral movement risk when credentials are compromised. Twingate's architecture grants access at the resource level rather than the network level, ensuring that a remote employee authorized to access a specific internal application cannot access adjacent systems on the same subnet.
