Permiso Identity Security Platform

Permiso Security is a cloud-native identity security company, co-founded by Jason Martin and Paul Nguyen, acquired by Okta with the deal closing on 2026-08-26. It addresses identity-based attacks and excessive privilege across human, non-human and AI identities in cloud, SaaS and CI/CD environments.

The platform has Discover, Protect and Defend modules covering identity inventory, identity security posture management and identity threat detection and response, with a risk score engine. Named customers include Nutanix, Coupa and Autodesk.

• Discover: inventories human, non-human and AI identities.
• Protect: assesses identity posture and exposure risk.
• Defend: detects and responds to identity threats.
• Risk score engine: prioritizes identity risk.
• Non-human identity security: monitors service accounts and keys.
• AI agent runtime security: monitors agent runs, tool calls and MCP invocations.

A Vietnamese bank can detect compromised cloud credentials and risky service accounts. A software company can monitor CI/CD identities and secrets. An enterprise can review AI agent tool calls for abuse.

Unifies identity posture and threat detection across cloud, SaaS and CI/CD. Covers non-human and AI agent identities. Backed by the P0 Labs research team reporting 1,500+ detection signals. Won a 2026 SC Award for threat detection.

Attackers increasingly abuse cloud identities, service accounts and AI agents, which makes identity threat detection part of cloud security. Vietnamese enterprises moving workloads to cloud need visibility of non-human identities.

Okta announced the agreement to acquire Permiso on 2026-07-30 and closed on 2026-08-26. The website still carries the Permiso brand. Headquarters and founding year are not stated on fetched pages.
