iboss Cloud vs Octelium

iboss Cloud is a cloud-native Zero Trust SASE platform aimed at enterprise, government, and K-12 education. Its capabilities include Secure Web Gateway, CASB, ZTNA, DLP, browser isolation, and SD-WAN. Zero Trust Core lists web filtering, URL categorization, basic CASB controls, HTTPS decryption, device posture checks, and SAML or OIDC integration. Advanced adds private access to internal applications, adaptive access policies, identity-based micro-segmentation, SIEM log forwarding, and advanced threat protection. That protection includes malware sandboxing, behavioral analysis, phishing protection, and more than 100 real-time threat feeds. Complete adds AI-powered CASB, SSPM and DSPM, advanced DLP policies, OCR for DLP, and intrusion prevention. Cloud Connector agents are listed for Windows, Mac, iOS, Chromebooks, Linux, and Android. Identity integrations include Azure AD, Okta, Ping, and SAML- or OIDC-compatible providers. Pricing is on request, and the pricing page directs prospective customers to request a demo rather than displaying plan prices.

Octelium is a free, open-source, self-hosted secure access platform for people, workloads, and AI agents reaching hybrid infrastructure, SaaS, and applications. It places protected resources behind identity-aware proxies and applies authorization policies at the application layer. Listed protocols and services include HTTP, gRPC, web applications, SSH, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MySQL, RDP, DNS, SOCKS5, TCP, UDP, MCP, and LLM modes. Cluster Secrets can hold upstream credentials and inject them after authorization, avoiding credential storage by users or workloads. Identity integrations include OIDC and SAML 2.0 providers such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Keycloak, and Auth0, plus GitHub OAuth2. Native authentication includes FIDO2 and WebAuthn passkeys, TPM 2.0, and TOTP. MCP and LLM gateways govern tool calls, arguments, models, tokens, and usage records. OpenTelemetry-based logs and metrics cover layer-7 activity. Octelium runs on Kubernetes; an installer provisions a single-node Cluster on a fresh Linux server, while larger deployments use managed or on-premises multi-node Kubernetes.
