About Edgewise Networks

Edgewise Networks is revolutionizing network security by proactively preventing application compromise and attack progression by network-borne threats.

Edgewise provides Trusted Application Networking for the cloud and data center to protect where firewalls fail. We prevent progression of network-borne threats by allowing only trusted applications to communicate over approved network paths. Using machine learning, Edgewise recommends and prioritizes optimal policies to eliminate 98% of the network attack surface and protect the rest.
