4-30-2025: Access Alliance for Education is proud to share that Cloudbrink has been named the Winner of the Global InfoSec Awards for Most Innovative Secure Remote Access at the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco, where cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and vendors come together to dicuss the latest threats, technologies, and strategies in the field.

In a world where hybrid and remote learning and work have become the norm, Cloudbrink is redefining secure connectivity with its Personal SASE solution, delivering ultra-fast, zero-trust access for users anywhere, from corporate offices to dorm rooms, at home, and even in coffee shops.

This award is a testament to Cloudbrink's commitment to innovation, performance, and security in a world that demands flexibility.

Access Alliance is a strategic partner for Cloudbrink.

Cloudbrink is designed for education, business, and IT leaders whose remote or hybrid learners, instructors, staff, and administrators struggle to be fully productive due to inconsistent network performance. Cloudbrink Personal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a high-performance connectivity and security service that delivers a lightning-fast, in-class or in-office experience to modern remote and hybrid learners and workers, wherever they are. Combining Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) with Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) and Personal Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), all connections are ultra-secure.

Cloudbrink enables K-12 and higher education institutions, as well as businesses and managed service providers, to reduce their networking expenses by up to 70% while enhancing network security, improving the remote and hybrid experiences for students, instructors, staff, and administrators, and increasing productivity across the entire learning community or organization.

Cloudbrink's AUTOMATED MOVING TARGET DEFENSE is a CYBERSECURITY MARKET DIFFERENTIATOR.

Personal SASE vendor Cloudbrink has been recognized as a Cool Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Cool Vendors™ in Enabling Efficient Cloud Operations Report.

Access Alliance for Education is a strategic partner for Cloudbrink in the education, corporate, and managed service provider markets.

Access Alliance for Education is also collaborating with Cloudbrink in the esports and game development markets.

Cloudbrink for Esports: Cloudbrink reduces network latency from 300 milliseconds to between 7 and 20 milliseconds.

Where Cloudbrink looks to differentiate is at a technical level through a series of innovations, including:

Distributed edge architecture: The company has decoupled software from hardware, allowing its platform to run across 800 data centers by leveraging public clouds, telco networks, and edge computing infrastructure. This approach reduces network latency from 300 milliseconds to between 7 and 20 milliseconds, according to the company. This density dramatically improves TCP performance and responsiveness.
Protocol optimization: Cloudbrink has developed its own algorithms for SD-WAN optimization, bringing enterprise-grade reliability to last-mile links. These algorithms significantly improve efficiency on consumer broadband connections, enabling enterprise-grade performance over standard internet links.
Integrated security stack: Cloudbrink has achieved secure speeds at line rate on our platform by integrating security directly into the networking stack itself. Rather than treating security as a separate overlay that degrades performance, Cloudbrink integrates security functions directly into the networking stack.
