Description

The company's enterprise edge security platform, Elisity Cognitive Trust, offers a cloud solution for identity-based segmentation, reducing the attack surface and enabling users to build a virtual network overlay over their existing infrastructure. The platform continuously applies on-demand connections by verifying a combination of identity, location, permissions, and behavior, delivering least-privilege access from the cloud to any asset and enforcing policy and nano-segmentation at the edge. Elisity's experienced team of entrepreneurs with technical backgrounds in enterprise networking and security work with the world's largest and most security-conscious organizations to help risk management leaders untangle network security.
