NetworkRADIUS Rebrands as InkBridge Networks, Expands to Support Broader Network Challenges for Enterprises 

“Every modern business needs a reliable, secure network to run successfully, but to build robust, low-cost, low-risk systems takes specialized expertise,” says InkBridge CEO, Alan DeKok.  

[Ottawa]: NetworkRADIUS is rebranding as InkBridge Networks, and expanding its focus as the company evolves to support more broad and complex network challenges for telecoms/ISPs, universities, and enterprise clients.   

“Every day, hundreds of millions of people worldwide access the Internet using protocols and infrastructure we helped build and continue to support,” says InkBridge Networks CEO, Alan DeKok. “It was time for our brand to reflect the depth and breadth of our skills and contributions, beyond RADIUS.”  

For over 25 years the team has designed and built the FreeRADIUS server, as well as guided the development of the RADIUS protocol. They have amassed a considerable amount of proprietary IP, developing robust and secure network authentication solutions for several industries. Throughout, DeKok and the team have contributed regularly to IETF standards and, when needed, provide expert testimony in relevant industry legal disputes.  

While still maintaining their dedication to RADIUS, the new branding is more aligned with InkBridge’s mission to deliver network solutions and authentication products that set industry benchmarks for performance and maintain the lowest risk profile among competitors. The new focus brings InkBridge’s skills in DHCPv4, DHCPv6, TACACS+, and DNS to the forefront and highlights their services, including engineering consulting, training, and patent consulting. 

InkBridge’s renewed focus is to establish long-term, meaningful relationships with organizations that value the security of their network and infrastructure.  

“Moving away from a RADIUS-focused name allows us to convey we’re more than just a RADIUS-centered company. InkBridge Networks provides industry-leading, foundational network solutions critical to modern organizational security and success,” says DeKok. 

“This is coming at a time when enterprises can’t risk their business by using open and insecure networks,” he continues. “The potential for negative consequences with massive business and privacy implications is too great in today’s connected environment. Our expertise will help organizations secure their networks at a reasonable cost.”
