iboss

Cloud-based security platform replacing VPNs

Overview

iboss provides a cloud-based security platform called iboss Zero Trust SSE that replaces traditional VPNs, proxy appliances, and VDI. It runs in the cloud to inspect traffic—including encrypted data via HTTPS decryption—and applies malware defense, compliance policies, and data loss prevention to every transaction, while offering seamless remote access for users to both on-premises and cloud applications. The service consolidates multiple security functions into a single cloud platform, reducing or eliminating legacy hardware and scaling security as needed. Its goal is to replace traditional security infrastructure with a scalable cloud security service that protects remote access and lowers costs while reducing the risk of data breaches and data loss.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Free AI discovery drives rapid adoption, enabling security teams to upgrade to enforcement tiers for policy control and data leak prevention.
  • Mass-deployment via MDM allows global enterprises to scale AI security controls without per-device enrollment or professional services.
  • AI-powered SSPM detects SaaS misconfigurations in Microsoft 365 and Salesforce, continuously assessing risk and enabling auto-remediation.

What critics are saying

  • Free discovery model collapses revenue if hyperscalers bundle free AI governance end-to-end, eliminating paid upgrade urgency.
  • Microsoft Purview integration makes iboss redundant as native DLP expands, causing security teams to drop inline controls entirely.
  • Shadow AI visibility commoditization erodes pricing advantage as competitors bundle free discovery into SASE suites, making enforcement hard to sell.

What makes iboss unique

  • iboss is the only AI control platform with force-free visibility and network-layer chat monitoring for all AI tools.
  • Its signatureless CASB secures AI-generated cloud apps without relying on traditional databases, enabling real-time protection from vibe coding.
  • The Zero Trust SASE platform consolidates VPN, SWG, CASB, and SD-WAN into one cloud service for regulated industries.
