Value proposition
Gives security teams a single, agentless, AI-native view of every identity (humans, AI agents, machines, files) and their access to sensitive data, unifying identity, data, and activity signals so enterprises can roll out AI without exposing years of sensitive data.
Products and solutions
Workforce Security Graph (core), four modules — AI (see/secure every AI tool), Data (lock down exposed sensitive data), Identity (right-size access for humans & machines), Threat Center (catch insider threats), Maestro AI Security Assistant (chat-based investigation, remediation, and agent workflow automation).
Unique value
Workforce Graph — a single graph connecting identity, access, data, and behavior for both human and non-human (AI agent) identities, with an AI security assistant (Maestro) that investigates and auto-remediates risks in plain language, agentless and live in a day.
Target customer
Enterprise security teams (lean security teams with large risk) adopting AI tools and AI agents; customers mostly in North America, expanding to Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
Industries served
Enterprise cybersecurity, AI governance & security, data loss prevention, identity security
Technology advantage
AI-native (not AI-added) architecture built from day one; agentless deployment (no installs, live in a day); treats identity and data security as one problem; Maestro AI assistant investigates and auto-remediates risks in plain language; claims 74% reduction in AI-driven data exposure in first 30 days and 45% internal blast-radius reduction at a 50K-person enterprise.
How they differentiate
Unifies identity and data security into one Workforce Graph covering humans AND AI agents/machines, whereas legacy tools were designed around human employees with stable roles; AI-native from day one with an autonomous remediation assistant (Maestro); agentless and quick to deploy (live in a day).

Growth metrics
Seven-figure ARR within first year of sales; double-digit enterprise customers; 74% reduction in AI-driven data exposure in first 30 days; 45% internal blast-radius reduction at a 50K-person enterprise.
Market positioning
Emerging leader in the "agent identity security" / AI agent security category; positioned as complementary to incumbent identity tools (Okta) today but potentially displacing point solutions (e.g., data loss prevention) over time; competes against Microsoft, Okta, CyberArk, Wiz, and Varonis.
Geographic focus
North America (primary), expanding to Europe, Middle East, Africa
