# OpenZiti

An open-source zero-trust networking platform that lets organizations build overlay networks secured by cryptographic identity instead of IP addresses.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells zero-trust overlay networking to the same platform engineers and SaaS teams evaluating the anchor for secure application connectivity — a buyer would shortlist both and pick one. Vercel's platform provides networking infrastructure for web and AI apps; OpenZiti provides the secure networking fabric those same teams could use instead.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> OpenZiti eliminates this headache by making identity—not IP—the core of your network.

> No more IP conflicts, no more guessing, just secure, zero-trust connectivity that works anywhere.
