Our Mission
Continuous Identity Assurance and Protection
Traditional forms of identity verification and access management controls provide only one-time assurance of the user's identity. Passwords can be compromised or shared. Multi-factor authentication does not provide adequate security once the initial authentication is completed. Organizations need continuous assurance in their Security posture, down to the liveness of user identity to protect against account takeover, unprivileged access, and data loss and data compromise.
That is why we created the Continuous Identity Assurance and Protection platform. Our mission is to enable Security teams to continuously verify and validate true user identity throughout their session and to eliminate their data loss gaps—all without interrupting business workflows.
Our Vision & values
We envision a world where cybersecurity is synonymous with continuous trust.
In this digital age, traditional security measures fall short, offering only fleeting glimpses of assurance. Our mission is to redefine the landscape of cybersecurity by delivering our Continuous Identity Verification and Protection platform, a platform that empowers organizations to safeguard their digital realms with unwavering confidence.
We strive to lead the charge in securing user identities and their sessions, ensuring that they occur with the values of confidentiality and integrity throughout every interaction. Our vision is to forge a future where security is not an obstacle but an enabler, seamlessly woven into the fabric of everyday business operations. Together, we shall fortify the digital world, one continuously verified identity at a time.
