Common use cases for agents

These examples illustrate common use cases for the NetFoundry Frontdoor agent, detailing how it facilitates secure, zero-trust network connectivity across various environments and operational goals.

Development environment sharing

Deploy agents on development systems to share development servers with team members while providing external access to staging environments. This enables remote debugging and testing capabilities while facilitating seamless collaboration without the complexity of traditional VPN setups.

Production service exposure

Use agents in production environments to securely expose APIs and web applications while providing partner access to integration endpoints. This approach enables customer access to services without requiring DMZ deployment and supports the implementation of comprehensive zero-trust access patterns.

Hybrid cloud connectivity

Leverage agents to connect on-premises services to cloud applications while enabling secure hybrid cloud architectures. This approach facilitates cloud migration strategies and provides consistent connectivity across diverse environments without compromising security or performance.
