CloudConnexa® Datasheet

Last updated: February 2026

CloudConnexa is a cloud-delivered secure networking service that provides zero trust network access (ZTNA) and essential security service edge (SSE) capabilities. It enables remote, hybrid, and in-person workforces to securely work from anywhere, giving businesses greater flexibility without added risk.

Key capabilities include:

Secure remote access to private networks and resources with continuous zero-trust enforcement
Prevention of lateral movement, ensuring connections originate from trusted devices and locations
The ability to turn SaaS tools into private applications, reducing your attack surface and rendering stolen credentials useless
Built-in IDS/IPS and content filtering to block cyber threats and unwanted content

How CloudConnexa Works

When you sign up for CloudConnexa, a virtually dedicated worldwide private network — called a Wide-area Private Cloud (WPC) — is created exclusively for your organization. It spans more than 30 worldwide points of presence (PoPs) across 6 continents, connected in a full-mesh topology for high performance and redundancy.

You can connect your applications and networks to these PoPs using IPsec or OpenVPN, via the OpenVPN Connector software, lightweight virtual machines, or compatible routers. Your workforce then accesses these applications by installing the OpenVPN Connect app on their devices and connecting to the nearest PoP.

Full Application Support (TCP, UDP, IP)	Supports any application communicating over TCP and UDP.

Actionable Visibility

Feature	Description
Access Visibility	Visibility into which private resources are accessed and by whom, eliminating security blind spots.
DNS Log	Captures all DNS resolution requests, showing domains visited and whether requests were successful, blocked, or failed.

Built-in Security

Feature	Description
Device Profile Lock	Prevents transfer of an authorized device's OpenVPN profile to reduce your attack surface.
Device Posture Policies	Ensures devices meet predefined rules (OS version, antivirus, disk encryption, etc.) before connecting.
Location Context Policies	Allows or blocks connections based on IP address range or country geolocation.
Built-in IDS/IPS (Cyber Shield)	Automatically monitors and blocks malicious traffic by category or threat priority.
Content and Web Filtering (Cyber Shield)	Blocks domain resolutions for 43 categories of undesirable or unsafe websites, with customizable allow/block lists.
Access Groups	Defines which user groups and networks can access specific hosts, networks, applications, and IP services.

Advanced Routing

Feature	Description
Domain-based Routing	Simplifies routing using domain names instead of IP subnets, resolving IP overlap issues.
Overlapping IP Address Support	Uses unique FQDNs to differentiate networks with overlapping IP addresses.
Smart Routing	Optimizes routes based on geographic proximity and network characteristics.
Restricted Internet Access	Blocks internet access — except to trusted destinations — for select user groups and networks.

Automation & Logs

Feature	Description
Log Streaming	Stores events from Access Visibility, Connection Status, Cyber Shield, and Audit Log into an AWS S3 bucket for SIEM integration.

CloudConnexa API	Integrates with other systems to manage your WPC programmatically and automate workflows.
IaC using Terraform	Automates configuration, user management, and access control as code for consistency and scalability.

Customer Testimonials

"The implementation team at CloudConnexa was a cut above. They were able to precisely guide me in configuration of IPSEC VPN tunnels using Unifi gateways. The system has continued working very well, providing reliable inter-cloud connectivity using SD-WAN."

— Systems Administrator, Greypool

"The process of installing OpenVPN is simple and secure. Once loaded I can connect to [my clients'] systems whenever they need help… Their portal is clear and easy to understand. Customer support is also quick and helpful."

— Sam C., Small Business Director

"What I appreciate most is that every time the VPN is activated, the user must authenticate through Single Sign-On (SSO). This enables us to link all our critical systems to the VPN, and if necessary, we can easily revoke access by deactivating the user's main account using the SSO."

— Chays V., Small Business Head of Operations
