Human
Secure employee, partner, and customer actions inside applications. Access decisions are calculated dynamically using real-time context, department, location, and business attributes
Secure Every Identity Across the Entire Access Chain
Go Beyond Who Gets In
Dynamic, runtime authorization across your entire enterprise tech stack for humans, non-human identities, and AI agents.
Govern centrally.
One control plane. No silos. Full visibility across your entire stack.
Secure Universally.
Control humans, services, and AI access. Guard every interaction, not just logins.
Enforce Dynamically.
Zero Standing Privileges. Millisecond-latency decisions. Zero developer bottlenecks.
Securing over 35 million identities and processing billions of decisions daily
for the world's most trusted enterprises.
The problem
Over-Privileged Identities Are Now a Crisis, Not Just a Risk.
The explosion of agentic AI and sprawling enterprise workflows has exposed the limits of legacy security. This is the New Identity Crisis: a world where AI agents outnumber human identities and standing privileges leave your data exposed while your entire identity stack remains stuck in the past.
Standing Privileges, Standing Risk
Legacy security stops at the entrance, leaving internal actions unmonitored.
AI Adoption Is Outpacing Security
AI agents execute continuous actions that static security cannot govern.
The Developer Bottleneck
Hardcoding access rules manually delays releases and bottlenecks developers.
The solution
The Authorization Standard for the AI Era
Every identity
Human, NHI & AI agent authorization
Authorize employees, partners, and customers in one model
Govern non-human identities — services, workloads, and APIs
Extend the same policies to autonomous AI agents
Talk to our experts
One control plane
Central policy, distributed enforcement
One policy language, standardized across the ecosystem
Enforcement distributed across apps, APIs, data, and agents
Management decoupled from enforcement as the stack evolves
Talk to our experts
Runtime at scale
Dynamic decisions, not static permissions
Millisecond policy decisions at enterprise scale
Context evaluated at the moment of access, not at login
Zero Standing Privileges by default

Use cases
One Place To Govern, Everywhere To Enforce.
Centralize your policy governance while distributing runtime enforcement across applications, APIs, data platforms, and agentic AI workflows
Agentic AI
Identity-first guardrails for prompts, retrieval, MCP/tool use, API actions, and output.
API gateways
Enforce policies at the edge for every API call.
Microservices
Consistent authorization across service-to-service calls.
Data access
Row- and column-level control at the data layer.
Token enrichment
Enrich tokens with fine-grained entitlements.
Application-level
Embed runtime decisions inside your applications.
Identity-first guardrails for prompts, retrieval, MCP/tool use, API actions, and output.
Enforce policies at the edge for every API call.
Consistent authorization across service-to-service calls.
Row- and column-level control at the data layer.
Enrich tokens with fine-grained entitlements.
Embed runtime decisions inside your applications.
Secure Every Identity. Govern the Entire Chain of Access.
We apply a single, continuous, Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC) model across your entire identity fabric
Non-Human
Eliminate vulnerable, persistent "always-on" credentials. Dynamically authorize service-to-service, workload, and API-level interactions only at the moment of need.
Agentic
Deploy AI agents and LLM tools with confidence. Enforce identity-first guardrails across the entire prompt-to-output path, governing what agents can ask, retrieve, invoke, and expose
