According to a new press release, “Meta Networks Ltd., the technology leader in secure cloud-native networking, today launched its flagship network and security platform – Meta NaaS (Network-as-a-Service). Meta Networks’ user-centric platform is delivered as a service to connect people, applications, clouds and sites within a software-defined perimeter, significantly reducing the possibility of a security breach while improving the overall user experience. The Meta NaaS platform replaces conventional, site-centric Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) with a flexible platform that provides always-on security for the enterprise and its employees, whether accessing private resources or the Internet. According to Gartner, ‘By 2021, 60% of enterprises will phase out network VPNs for digital business communications in favor of software-defined perimeters, up from less than 1% in 2016’.”

The release goes on, “With a fundamentally new platform that addresses both business and IT requirements in the Software-Defined Perimeter space, Meta Networks is making its public debut with $10 million of seed stage funding led by Vertex Ventures and the BRM Group. The company is entering the market on a clear path to category leadership with unique, production-proven technology and an increasing volume of customer deployments. Meta Networks is using the current funding to expand operations as its flagship technology platform, Meta NaaS, gains traction in the enterprise.”
