Token Security
An identity-first governance platform for AI agents and non-human identities that discovers, correlates, and enforces least-privilege access across machine identities.

Token Security treats AI agents, service accounts, API keys, and other non-human identities (NHIs) as first-class identities requiring the same lifecycle governance as human accounts, rather than as afterthoughts bolted onto legacy IAM. The platform discovers and correlates agents, humans, secrets, permissions, and data into a unified identity graph, then applies intent-based, least-privilege enforcement across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments, covering the full lifecycle from creation through retirement.
Its Enzo component lets security teams operationalize identity policy through natural-language interaction via an MCP server, reflecting a design built around AI-native workflows rather than retrofitted for them. The company was named a finalist in the RSAC Innovation Sandbox 2026, a competitive, analyst-adjacent recognition, and lists enterprise customers including HiBob, Udemy, GEHA, Klaviyo, BetterHelp, and Lemonade.
Non-human identity governance is a genuinely underserved problem as AI agents multiply machine identities faster than most IAM programs can track, and Token Security’s identity-graph approach is a credible answer, but the company is still early stage and competes in a fast-forming category with several new entrants.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Built a full identity-graph and lifecycle governance platform plus a natural-language MCP interface (Enzo) quickly enough to reach RSAC Innovation Sandbox finalist status.
Gives security teams unified visibility and least-privilege enforcement across human and machine identities, directly addressing the sprawl of unmanaged agent and service-account credentials.
RSAC Innovation Sandbox 2026 finalist status and named enterprise customers (HiBob, Udemy, Klaviyo) are real but early-stage signals relative to established IAM vendors. Recognized in Cyber Defense Media Group's 2026 Global InfoSec Awards (2 awards), independently juried industry validation of market traction.
Treating non-human and AI agent identities as first-class citizens with full lifecycle governance is a meaningful shift from legacy IAM tools with AI features added on.
Named customers provide some real-world signal, but independent, third-party efficacy validation of the identity-graph approach at scale was not found.
As AI agents proliferate faster than human headcount, non-human identity governance is likely to become one of the more consequential IAM problems over the next several years.
Why CISOs Should Care
Closes the growing gap between the explosion of AI agent and service-account identities and traditional IAM programs that were built to govern human users only.
What Makes It Different
A unified identity graph correlating agents, humans, secrets, and permissions with intent-based, least-privilege enforcement, plus a natural-language MCP interface built for AI-native workflows.
The Matrix Verdict
70/100 — MEANINGFUL INNOVATOR
A promising, identity-first approach to a rapidly emerging problem, validated by RSAC Innovation Sandbox recognition but still early in market proof.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
RSAC Innovation Sandbox finalist status and customer names are independently verifiable/company-published respectively; platform efficacy claims have not been independently benchmarked.
