Company mission
To allow companies to reconcile developers' experience and productivity with security constraints against data and credential leaks.
Our take
In software development, inefficient and insecure development environments are draining developer time and productivity. Provisioning, maintenance, and security are constant headaches, and fragmented tools make collaboration difficult.
Strong Network's Cloud Development Environment (CDE) platform tackles these issues by streamlining everything, boosting productivity by 80%. Its integration with Git, CI/CD tools, and popular IDEs fosters seamless collaboration and project switching and the platform operates on private or on-premise clouds, ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance.
In 2024, Strong Network was acquired by Citrix, meaning its new parent company can utilise Strong Network's platform to isolate and protect its access to on-premise and cloud environment applications. With the cloud adoption trend showing no signs of slowing, Strong Network is well-positioned to capitalise on this market.
