Secure every
non-human identity.
Machine identities now far outnumber your people — most with no owner, no expiry and no review. GraphDefend finds them, ranks them by what they can actually reach, and acts where dashboards stop.

The non-human identity gap is already inside your perimeter
Machine identities scaled faster than the controls meant to govern them. What grew is an unseen attack surface that sits outside IAM and audit review — unowned, unexpiring, and largely unreviewed.
0:1
Machines to human identities
Machine identities already outnumber people by two orders of magnitude — far more than any team can enumerate by hand.

Organizations have adopted AI agents
Agents are already inside the enterprise, requesting credentials and delegating access to other agents.

Of human users hold access beyond what they need
Standing over-privilege is already the norm for people — and machine identities are provisioned with far less review.

Everything you need to secure non-human identity, in one platform
Discover identities, understand their risk, govern them from creation, detect threats, and bring AI agents under the same control.
- 01
Discover Every Non-Human Identity
AI agents, service accounts, workloads, APIs, secrets, and machine identities are multiplying faster than security teams can track. GraphDefend continuously discovers them across the cloud, identity and secret platforms you connect — and names the gaps it can't yet see, instead of hiding them.
- 02
Understand Identity Risk by Blast Radius
Not every identity is dangerous. GraphDefend uses graph-based intelligence to reveal relationships, privilege paths, ownership gaps, and attack exposure—helping security teams focus on the risks that matter most.
- 03
Govern Identities from Creation
As AI agents and machine identities operate independently, manual governance no longer works. GraphDefend gates new identities against policy when they're created, brokers short-lived, least-scope credentials, and flags identities with no accountable owner.
- 04
Detect Identity Threats Before They Escalate
Modern attacks increasingly target identities instead of infrastructure. GraphDefend watches identity behavior for anomalies, maps the attack paths a compromised identity could walk, and lets you contain it before it spreads.
- 05
Build Trust in the Autonomous Enterprise
The future of enterprise security depends on trusted autonomous systems. GraphDefend lets organizations adopt AI agents with signed delegation lineage, just-in-time credentials and a branch-level kill — so autonomy never outruns control.
Discover, secure, defend, and govern every non-human identity
A complete NHI security platform — full inventory, posture management, non-human ITDR, and lifecycle governance — connected by one identity graph.
Inventory every non-human identity, automatically
Agentless discovery across cloud, SaaS, identity providers, and secret stores builds one live inventory of every service account, API key, OAuth app, secret, certificate, and AI agent — with the business context and relationships behind each one.
- Read-only discovery across AWS, Azure & Entra ID, GCP, GitHub, GitLab, Okta, Snowflake, Vault and Kubernetes
- Covers service accounts, keys, OAuth apps, secrets, workloads, and AI agents
- Continuous inventory that flags identities with no accountable owner

Every non-human identity in one continuous inventory
AI agents, MCP servers, service accounts, keys, OAuth apps, and secrets — discovered automatically, scored by risk, and tied to an owner. No agents, no spreadsheets.

What sets GraphDefend apart
Discovery, credential brokering, and enforcement usually live in separate tools. GraphDefend runs them on one live identity graph — so what you see, what you issue, and what you can cut off all come from the same source of truth.
We don't just list identities — we cut them
One action — with a dry-run preview first — cascades a kill through an agent's whole delegation branch while its siblings keep running. Discovery and response in one platform: lists tell you what's risky; GraphDefend shuts it down.
Built for AI agents and MCP from the ground up
Every agent gets a just-in-time, least-scope token — an MCP client never inherits a standing credential — and unknown MCP clients are denied by default.
We know what an identity can actually do
Exercisable attack paths to your crown-jewel resources, with the minimal set of changes that closes them. Explainable and deterministic — no ML training data required.
Get early accessA time machine for identity
Ask what the blast radius was as of last Tuesday. A bitemporal graph powers forensics, drift detection, and audit — a question most tools can't answer.
Get early accessThe graph is the moat
Discovery, risk scoring, brokering, and the kill switch all read from one live identity graph — which is why we rank findings by what they can reach, not by raw severity.

Connect one account and watch us find — and cut — a risky path live.
One platform, one graph — from credential to crown jewel
GraphDefend unifies discovery, posture, ITDR, and lifecycle governance into a single live model of your non-human identity estate — and the means to act on it, from instant revocation to creation-time policy. One source of truth for security, IAM, and platform teams.
