About
Permiso is a comprehensive identity security platform designed for enterprises seeking to secure their modern identity attack surface across all environments. At its core, the platform uses a Universal Identity Graph to discover and classify every identity—human, non-human, and AI—operating across cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, identity providers (IdPs), and CI/CD pipelines. The platform is organized around three pillars: Discover, Protect, and Defend. It includes an Identity Visibility & Intelligence Platform (IVIP) for full identity coverage, Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) to reduce excessive privileges and exposures, and Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) for real-time attack detection and response. Permiso also addresses the growing challenge of AI security with its AI Security module and the newly introduced SandyClaw—the first dynamic sandbox that detonates AI agent skills in a controlled, instrumented environment to detect malicious behavior before it can cause harm. Key use cases include detecting account takeovers, securing non-human identities (service accounts, API keys, bots), monitoring insider threats, detecting compromised credentials, and securing AI infrastructure. Recognized with the 2026 SC Award for Best Threat Detection Technology, Permiso is trusted by leading enterprises seeking deep identity risk visibility and proactive threat defense.
Key Features
- Universal Identity Graph: A unified graph that discovers and classifies all human, non-human, and AI identities across cloud and on-prem environments for complete visibility.
- Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR): Real-time detection and response capabilities that identify compromised credentials, account takeovers, and insider threats across your entire identity surface.
- Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM): Continuously assesses and reduces identity risk by identifying excessive privileges, misconfigurations, and exposures before they can be exploited.
- SandyClaw AI Agent Sandbox: The first dynamic sandbox for AI agent skills and prompts, executing skills in a controlled instrumented environment to detect malicious behaviors before deployment.
- Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security: Specialized protection for service accounts, API keys, bots, and machine identities that are often overlooked but highly targeted by attackers.
Use Cases
- Detecting and responding to account takeover attacks targeting employee or privileged user credentials across cloud and SaaS environments.
- Securing non-human identities such as service accounts, API keys, and CI/CD pipeline credentials that are commonly exploited in cloud breaches.
- Monitoring and detecting insider threats by analyzing identity behavior patterns and flagging anomalous or unauthorized access activity.
- Sandboxing and evaluating AI agent skills and prompts before deployment to identify malicious behaviors or prompt injection risks in agentic AI systems.
- Reducing excessive privileges and improving identity security posture by continuously discovering over-permissioned identities across the entire enterprise environment.
Pros
- Comprehensive Identity Coverage: Covers human, non-human, and AI identities in a single platform, providing unmatched visibility across IdPs, IaaS, SaaS, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Award-Winning Threat Detection: Recognized with the 2026 SC Award for Best Threat Detection Technology, validating the platform's effectiveness in real-world enterprise environments.
- Pioneering AI Security Capabilities: SandyClaw's dynamic sandbox approach to AI agent skills is a first-of-its-kind capability that addresses the emerging threat landscape of agentic AI systems.
- Actionable Risk Prioritization: Surfaces the riskiest actors and identities in the environment so security teams can focus remediation efforts where they matter most.
Cons
- Enterprise-Only Pricing: No self-serve or free tier is available; access requires requesting a demo, making it less accessible for smaller organizations or individual practitioners.
- Complex Deployment Scope: Full value requires integrating across multiple environments (IdPs, cloud, SaaS, CI/CD), which can involve significant setup and onboarding effort.
- Limited Public Pricing Transparency: Pricing details are not publicly disclosed, making it difficult for prospective customers to evaluate cost-fit without engaging the sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of identities does Permiso protect?
Permiso protects human identities (employees, contractors), non-human identities (service accounts, API keys, bots, machine identities), and AI identities (AI agents and their associated skills/prompts) across cloud and on-prem environments.
What is SandyClaw and how does it work?
SandyClaw is the first dynamic sandbox platform for AI agent skills and prompts. It executes AI agent skills in a controlled, instrumented environment—recording all behaviors—to detect malicious or risky actions before they can be deployed or cause harm in production.
What environments does Permiso integrate with?
Permiso integrates with Identity Providers (IdPs), IaaS cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and CI/CD pipelines to provide a unified view of all identities and their activity across the enterprise.
What is the difference between ISPM and ITDR?
Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) is a proactive capability that continuously identifies and reduces identity risk—such as over-privileged accounts—before an attack occurs. Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) is a reactive capability that detects active threats and attacks involving identities in real-time and enables rapid response.
How can I get started with Permiso?
Permiso is an enterprise platform available by request. You can schedule a demo through their website at permiso.io to see the platform in action and discuss how it fits your organization's security needs.
