“Tailscale enables us to move fast and not worry about VPN infrastructure. The simple user interface and easy install on any device is something we’ve wanted for years.”

Network Connectivity and Security Made Simple

There has traditionally been a deep disconnect between connectivity, ease-of-use, and security best practices. Tailscale eliminates this tension by making private network connectivity fast, effortless, and seamless while allowing security teams to rest easy with end-to-end encryption, no single point of failure, near-instantaneous setup, and zero-config.

Tailscale integrates with existing identity services including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Okta for seamless authentication and delivers an all-in-one Zero Trust solution for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) that simply works. It is based on WireGuard, the open source, opinionated standard for secure connectivity, and is set up and configured in a matter of minutes on average, while other VPN solutions take weeks to fully implement and several hours a week to maintain.
