What it sells
The Infrastructure Identity Company
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedSecurity / platform engineering leaders (CISO, VP Engineering) (inferred).
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Credential sprawl, audit/compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and need to control AI agents and machine identities in production.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Replaces VPNs, bastion hosts and static credentials: users, machines and AI agents authenticate with cryptographic identity and get just-in-time ephemeral privileges to servers, databases, Kubernetes, cloud consoles and MCP servers, with session recording and audit trail.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Priced on active users and protected resources; claims 95% reduction in exposed attack surface and 80% drop in time troubleshooting access.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Free trial plus contact sales; cloud, self-hosted and hybrid deployment; Cisco strategic partnership announced.
