About

Born in the Cloud

Founded in 2006, Tether was born in the cloud and it shows. Our unique client-to-cloud platform is able to connect and manage millions of devices while providing real-time control of those endpoints, all from a responsive, cloud-native console. Today’s mobile enterprise operates equally inside and outside the corporate firewall – we believe cloud is the best way to meet this challenge.

Enterprise-only

From its inception, Tether has only served the enterprise market. Our products are optimized for mass deployment and enterprise-wide management, and address the unique security challenges enterprises face. This also means we protect our customers from questionable consumer-level approaches to security (such as webcam snooping and keystroke logging), which can expose enterprises to employee privacy issues. We not only make products that IT organizations love, we make products that employees are happy and comfortable to be governed by.

Technology Leadership

Our unique engineering culture combines a world-class software development team with an Advisory Board of industry software experts that keep Tether at the forefront of cloud security innovation. It’s why IT professionals are delighted with Tether from the very first time they try it. It’s why Tether has become the must-have security service for enterprises worldwide – and it’s why our technology underpins other security vendor’s cloud-based products as well.
