Aembit

Aembit provides workload identity and access management (IAM) solutions focused on securing non-human identities such as applications, services, APIs, and other machine-to-machine connections. The company addresses the security challenges created by modern distributed applications that operate across multiple clouds and require autonomous access to databases, third-party APIs, and various cloud services. The platform manages workload identities for custom applications running in cloud or on-premises environments, including Kubernetes deployments, HTTP-based APIs from SaaS providers, databases, and application services from hyperscale cloud vendors. Aembit's approach centers on replacing long-lived static credentials and secrets with short-lived, policy-based access controls that reduce the attack surface associated with embedded credentials in code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration files. The company's solutions target DevOps engineers and security teams dealing with the proliferation of workload identities, which according to industry data now outnumber human identities by a ratio of 10 to 1. Aembit focuses on preventing credential exposure incidents that occur when API keys, OAuth tokens, and other machine credentials are leaked through public repositories, compromised integrations, or supply chain attacks. The platform provides identity-driven access management that mediates connections between workloads without requiring developers to manage static secrets manually.
