Defakto Security

Founded 2022

Secure and manage non-human identities without static secrets or standing access

You can use Defakto to secure and manage non-human identities across cloud, container, and DevOps environments. The system replaces long-lived secrets, API keys, and standing service account privileges with short-lived, verifiable credentials issued at runtime. Built on open SPIFFE standards, it assigns cryptographically verifiable identities to automated workloads, continuous integration pipelines, microservices, and autonomous software agents. You gain instant visibility into machine access patterns, eliminate credential vault sprawl, enforce fine-grained access policies, and audit automated interactions across hybrid infrastructure without disrupting existing development workflows.

What Defakto Security does

Issue runtime verifiable identities to software workloadsAudit machine access across cloud environments in real timeRemove hardcoded credentials from application codebasesMap service account dependencies across microservicesConfigure dynamic access policies for automated deployment jobsRevoke compromised machine credentials automaticallyIssues short-lived runtime credentials using SPIFFE standardsEliminates hardcoded API keys and long-lived static secretsProvides real-time visibility into non-human accounts and workloadsEnforces policy-driven zero trust access controls on servicesDetects and removes orphaned service accounts and excessive privilegesIntegrates directly with major CI/CD pipelines and container meshes
