HIGH-PERFORMANCE ZTNA for CrowdStrike
Securing the Future of Work with Cloudbrink and Crowdstrike.
CrowdStrike with Cloudbrink High-Performance ZTNA delivers up to 30x the performance to keep the work-from-anywhere generation productive and happy.
THE CHALLENGES
🔹 Traditional VPNs & remote access solutions are slow, vulnerable, and complex.
🔹 Endpoint security alone is not enough—secure access must be dynamic and automated.
THE SOLUTION
🔹 Cloudbrink's Personal SASE (with ZTNA) ensures ultra-fast, highly secure remote access.
🔹 CrowdStrike’s Zero-Trust Assessment (ZTA) provides endpoint compliance insights.
🔹 Together, they deliver real-time, automated access control for enterprises.
Key Benefits for CrowdStrike Users
🔹 Real-Time Zero-Trust Access – Cloudbrink dynamically adapts user access based on CrowdStrike’s ZTA score and endpoint security posture.
🔹 Seamless User Experience – Employees get an in-office-like experience, eliminating the need for cumbersome VPNs or manual security adjustments.
🔹 High-Performance Networking – AI-powered ultra-low latency access, even for demanding workloads like developers, VDI, and UCaaS users.
🔹 Automated Security Policies – IT teams can enforce customizable security rules per user, device, or group with CrowdStrike’s real-time security insights.
🔹 Lower Support Costs - Users report significantly less issues with Cloudbrink's Personal SASE vs other remote access solutions which frees up staff to work on more important security issues.
🔹 Continuous Compliance Checks – Unlike traditional access controls, Cloudbrink revalidates endpoint compliance mid-session, automatically revoking access for non-compliant devices.
How It Works: CrowdStrike + Cloudbrink Integration
🔍 Step 1: Cloudbrink continuously fetches CrowdStrike’s ZTA score and other endpoint security posture data.
🚦 Step 2: Access decisions are made in real-time (Allow, Restrict, or Quarantine users).
🛡 Step 3: IT teams define custom security thresholds—Cloudbrink blocks or quarantines users whose devices go out of compliance.
🔄 Step 4: If security issues are resolved, Cloudbrink restores access automatically.
✅ Enterprise-Grade Security

PROTECT AND VERIFY
Cloudbrink Personal-SASE service includes High-Performance Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) which can be integrated with CrowdStrike Falcon to deliver enhanced security and seamless connectivity, ensuring secure, high-performance access from any location.
The zero-trust security model denies access to an enterprise's digital resources by default. It only grants authenticated users tailored, siloed access to the specific applications, data, services, and systems they need to do their jobs if the endpoint meets the necessary security requirements.
Support for all SaaS and data center apps.
The benefits include:
Enhanced Security Posture
Seamless User Experience
Automated Access Control
No complex network segmentation
Customizable Security Checks
Cloud Native Fast Deployment
A High-Performance ZTNA service provides mutual zero trust based on mTLS 1.3 and it provides Moving Target Defense (MTD) by rotating security certificates in hours, not years.
To avoid detection, modern attacks are "low and slow". By rotating certificates multiple times a day, these exploits that involve certificates are eliminated.

A Secure and Performant Remote Access Solution
The Brink App, FAST Edges, and Cloudbrink's connector software work together to provide a more secure and performant remote access solution than current VPN, SDP, ZTNA or ZTNA 2.0 offerings. The Brink App is powered by AI to overcome local Wi-Fi and broadband network challenges, while FAST Edges are automatically created close to the end user for maximum performance. This provides a high-performance, highly secure end-to-end connection to private apps or data sources.
Cloudbrink's High-Performance ZTNA Three Main Components
The Brink App, installed on end-user devices, leverages the power of AI to overcome any network challenges and guarantees an excellent quality of experience for the end-user, regardless of the network.
Enterprise access points called FAST (Flexible, Autonomous, Smart, Temporary) Edges are automatically created close to the end user enabling Cloudbrink to react rapidly to changes in demand, guaranteeing the highest possible performance. Cloudbrink can automatically scale thousands of FAST Edges. By contrast, traditional vendors typically provide only 100-200 PoPs at most. These edges form a mesh to create the fastest possible route through the cloud on a per-session basis. In contrast, other ZTNA vendors typically provide only 100-200 PoPs at most.
If required, Cloudbrink's connector software can be deployed in the customer's cloud environment or data center to provide a secure end-to-end connection to private apps or data sources.
Cloudbrink's High-Performance ZTNA is a software-only solution that uses pre-emptive and accelerated packet recovery to minimize the impact of network issues. The zero trust network architecture combines packet recovery with FAST edges to minimize latency.
