Frequently Asked Questions

Never. Bowtie controllers run in your infrastructure, and all traffic flows directly between your devices and your resources. There is no cloud proxy, no inspection point, and no access to your data.
Zero trust access and internet security are two halves of the same problem. Leading SASE vendors charge separately for private access and internet security, often totaling $14-22+/user/month combined. We bundle both in Business because our architecture makes it efficient to deliver, and your security posture shouldn't depend on how many line items you can budget for.
Because Bowtie never routes your traffic through a vendor cloud, there is no structural conflict with ITAR, EAR, CMMC, or other compliance frameworks that restrict where data can flow. Your data stays within your controlled environment.
Fabric enables fast site-to-site networking with zero trust policies using your existing Bowtie controller mesh. Instead of SD-WAN appliances, you get encrypted, policy-driven connections between data centers, offices, cloud environments, and ground stations. Included in Enterprise.
Controllers deploy as lightweight containers or VMs. Agents install on endpoints and connect directly. Most teams are operational within an hour. Enterprise deployments can be managed via Terraform and MDM.
No. The Starter plan is free forever for up to 3 users. Deploy controllers, set policies, and evaluate Bowtie without payment information.
