NordLayer Review: Comprehensive Cybersecurity for Businesses

NordLayer is a trusted network security platform, securing 10,000+ companies globally. It’s flexible, low-maintenance and scalable – perfect for hybrid networks.

Launched in 2019 by the team behind NordVPN, NordLayer started as Business VPN for remote work security. As hybrid work grew, it evolved into a full-scale security platform built on Zero Trust Network Access principles.

Now celebrating five years, NordLayer secures connections, detects threats and responds to threats, all with an easy-to-deploy and cloud-based setup. 

As a scalable and hardware-free solution, NordLayer fits any infrastructure. It integrates with identity providers like Okta, JumpCloud, OneLogin, Entra ID, and Google for seamless logins and runs on fast, lightweight VPN protocols like NordLynx. 

Its SSE components, including Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) provide enhanced network protection.

With several industry awards, including the UK Business Security Award, Tekpon’s Top Cloud Security Software Tool and the Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Network Access Control, NordLayer continues to lead the way in modern business security.
