New platform extends least privilege to the network itself, creating encrypted connections only when needed and removing them when their purpose expires

PROVIDENCE, R.I., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EVA Networks today emerged from Stealth with a new approach to enterprise connectivity built around a simple premise: network access should not exist when it is not needed.

Zero-trust architectures have increasingly reduced standing identity privileges, yet the network paths connecting applications, clouds, data centers, partners and third parties often remain permanently available. EVA Networks extends the just-in-time model to connectivity itself.

EVA creates encrypted, policy-controlled connections dynamically for an authorized business purpose and automatically removes the underlying network path and connectivity infrastructure when that requirement ends. The approach is designed to reduce unnecessary standing connectivity, attack surface, significant costs, and the operational burden associated with maintaining long-lived tunnels, routes, circuits, and firewall policies.

“Enterprise security has spent years asking who should be allowed to use a connection,” said Dan Sheldon, founder and CEO of EVA Networks. “We started EVA by asking the question: why does the connection need to exist before it is actually required or approved? Temporary business requirements should not create permanent infrastructure.”

Built Around Enterprise Requirements

EVA spent its stealth period developing the platform alongside large organizations operating complex, regulated infrastructure environments rather than launching publicly and then searching for enterprise use cases.

EVA is working with Fortune 50 customers as early adopters.

EVA is designed for use cases including business-to-business connectivity, third-party and vendor access, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, application-to-application communications, just-in-time infrastructure access and emerging agentic AI workloads.

EVA is also extending this model through Ephemeral Agent Paths (EAP), enabling policy-controlled, time-bound connectivity for dynamic workloads and agentic AI systems at the infrastructure layer. As AI agents, automated services and ephemeral compute increasingly need to interact across environments, EAP is designed to help enterprises secure those interactions without leaving standing network paths in place.

Connectivity With a Lifecycle

Rather than treating routes and network relationships as permanent configuration, EVA gives connectivity a defined lifecycle:

Intent → Policy → Encrypted Connection → Observation → Expiration

When an authorized connection intent arises, EVA evaluates policy and establishes the required encrypted path. When the authorized window or business purpose ends, that connectivity is automatically removed.

This same approach can be applied to modern dynamic infrastructure, including AI Agents, automated processes, and serverless applications that need short-lived, governed communication paths. EVA is designed to help enterprises enforce security policy at the infrastructure layer even as workloads become more distributed, automated and transient.

The platform is designed to operate across cloud, hybrid and on-premises infrastructure while complementing existing enterprise networking and security investments.

“Compute has become ephemeral. Identity has become increasingly just-in-time. Infrastructure has become software-defined,” Sheldon said. “Connectivity is one of the last major pieces of enterprise infrastructure still treated as though permanence is the default. We believe that is about to change – especially as dynamic workloads and AI-driven systems make static connectivity even harder to justify.”

EVA has established go-to-market relationships with World Wide Technology (WWT), ePlus, EchoStor Technologies, and Layer 8 Security; giving enterprise customers access to EVA through established technology partners and solution providers.

“What personally impressed me about EVA is its approach to short-lived, orchestrated connectivity,” said Brian Gilbert, Chief Technical Advisor/VP AI and Global Engineering. “By making network paths dynamic rather than permanent, EVA adds a largely transparent layer of protection, reduces the amount of persistent infrastructure exposed to attack, and can do so without requiring enterprises to rip and replace their existing network environment.”

With an established enterprise customer and partner ecosystem, EVA Networks is now expanding commercial availability across regulated industries and complex hybrid environments.
