Cloud Gateway is a network component that provides a controlled connection between an organization’s local infrastructure, applications, or devices and cloud services. It manages traffic moving between these environments and can handle functions such as routing, authentication, encryption, access control, and protocol translation.
It is commonly used when applications need secure and reliable access to cloud resources without exposing internal systems directly to the internet. Cloud Gateways can connect enterprise networks with cloud platforms, support hybrid cloud environments, and help centralize traffic management between on-premises systems and cloud-based services.
