After their service together of five years apiece, each of them went on to their own business and entrepreneurial careers, but kept in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe often talked about our careers and our experiences in business, conversations which focused on how businesses provide access to their applications and how it is fundamentally flawed,\u201d they say. In order to connect a particular user to a particular application system, he is transferred within the network to the application developer, and gets there via a dedicated route \u2014 VPN. This approach is not just cumbersome for the user, but also poses a number of security challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy not use the cloud in order to provide a better user experience, a better appearance, control and security?\u201d they wondered. \u201cWhy not separate between the user and the network and the application?\u201d Knafo and Azrielant developed an innovative solution for private and secure access to organizational applications on public clouds and organizational servers. \u201cIn the new and secure world that we are making possible, users receive access to applications without getting access to the network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Axis platform in fact enables employees to connect and work with all of the applications that they work on within the organization in a secure and straightforward way, without connecting to the organizational network and without putting it at risk \u2014 a quick, transparent and much safer solution, and much more convenient to manage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The platform founded by Forbes Israel\u2019s 30 Under 30 list alumni is an innovative solution that enables private and secure access to organizational applications on the cloud: \u201ccreating a new and secure world.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":2223,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95,175,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hide-on-homepage","category-magazine-white","category-entrepreneurs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
