You be the hero this time
You just need the right tools
There’s a cloud security hero in all of us. There has to be, because there aren’t enough “experts” in the world to secure everyone’s cloud. Permiso lets the team you have be the heroes you need. And secure your cloud like the experts who aren’t coming anyway.
Pop the cloud open, Look inside
OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to simplify cloud security so technology and security professionals can secure the cloud like an expert.
OUR VISION
Users of every skill level have intelligence that’s accessible, actionable, and explorable because we have more information on cloud adversaries and tactics than anyone, and we made it usable by everyone.
We get flooded with alerts from other security solutions. Alerts from Permiso bring attention to the things that truly matter.
Identity is the silver bullet in the cloud. If you don’t get it right, you’re dead!
Permiso unlocks unique visibility into my cloud infrastructure environment that I currently don’t get from a CSPM or SIEM.
Permiso provides our team with visibility and detection into our public cloud environment that isn't covered by our CSPM and SIEM today.
With great cloud security comes great taste
