Cygrid
Cygrid
Cygrid is building an AI-native identity risk management platform for organizations managing identities across SaaS, cloud, and on-premises environments. Its Identity Command Center brings human, machine, and AI-agent identities together with security and compliance data to surface exposure, attack paths, and misconfigurations. Autonomous AI agents help detect and prioritize identity risks, coordinate remediation across existing security tools, and provide ongoing risk intelligence. Cygrid is in product stealth mode.
