Strong Network

Strong Network delivers a self-hosted platform that allows organizations to manage the first secure Cloud Development Environments (CDEs). They use secure CDEs to provide access to their developers to ready-to-code linux development environments with native data security. CDEs are spurring the fastest DevOps transformation trend today with the entire cloud-native development effort moving to this technology. They also recently became a new Gartner technology category where Strong Network is recognized as one of the vendors. Strong Network’s CDE platform delivers business benefits by: - Accelerating application delivery by improving developer experience and making development more productive - Reducing IT costs and management inefficiencies around development environments with standardization and centralization - Protecting intellectual property (PII, GDPR-sensitive, source code, ML models, etc) that is used and created during development
