The company is active in

The company is active in the EU, Asian, and US markets and is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland has over 25 employees, 8 nationalities and a satellite office in Belgrade, Serbia. The founders have established a culture of performance and “lean” from its inspection and attracted a team of very diverse similarly minded technical and business professionals.
Our customers have a dual problem:(1) improve the efficiency of their development process along the DevOps cycle and (2) deal with security requirements against data leaks. These two problems are usually solved separately. Improved alignment is achieved with solutions to manage containers for development. Security against data leaks is achieved with infrastructure such as VDI or DaaS.
Strong Network's platform achieves these goals jointly, with superior benefits, but most importantly with security that doesn't get in the way of developers' productivity. In contrast to DaaS streaming desktops, our platform delivers a low-bandwidth, locally executing development environment with frontend and backend security resulting in higher ROI and productivity, and improved security posture.
The mission is to reconcile code developers' productivity with enterprise data protection. Strong Newtork is the first DevSecOps platform that achieves these major goals jointly.
