NordLayer

NordLayer (developed by Nord Security) is an enterprise cloud-native business VPN, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) platform engineered to provide secure, encrypted remote access for modern distributed workforces. Designed to replace cumbersome, hardware-based legacy VPN concentrators that require complex maintenance and cause network bottlenecks, NordLayer deploys in minutes as a fully managed cloud service. The platform provides employees with lightweight client applications across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, establishing encrypted WireGuard and OpenVPN tunnels to a global network of secure servers or dedicated corporate gateways with static private IP addresses. NordLayer incorporates essential network security capabilities, including ThreatBlock (which blocks malicious domains, phishing sites, and unwanted advertisements), DNS filtering, and network access control. Security administrators can configure role-based access permissions, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) and biometric logins, and create isolated network segments that restrict employee access strictly to authorized internal applications and cloud resources. NordLayer delivers simple, scalable, and affordable remote network security that helps growing organizations enforce zero-trust principles and protect corporate data.
