Valarian builds infrastructure for organisations operating in high-trust, high-stakes environments. Our core product, ACRA, is a secure, compartmentalised backbone designed to run and protect mission-critical applications — now proven at the edge in portable GPU clusters as well as in the cloud and on-premise. We developed ACRA when existing infrastructure failed to meet real-world risk — where segmentation breaks down, audit trails disappear, and lateral movement cannot be contained. Valarian is a UK-founded and UK-led company, and backed by leading defence and national security investors. We are a homegrown team with backgrounds across defence, secure communications, high-assurance systems, and enterprise software — engineers and operators who have worked in environments where a lost signal or a missed audit can carry real consequences. We design like users because we’ve been them.

Software supply chain attacks have disrupted organizations and open-source projects at an increasing rate over the past 5 years, exposing the software supply chain as a critical aspect of an organizations security posture. Its prompted the need to protect developers, code, and developed products, which requires looking at a solution from multiple angles. Arnica integrates across your software supply chain and provides the necessary context, prioritization, ownership and actionability to proactively mitigate risks. In addition to providing complete (free!) reports around code risk (SAST, SCA, IaC), excessive permissions, low reputation 3rd party dependencies, code repository misconfigurations, anomalous developer behavior, and more, Arnica’s Pipelineless approach eliminates these risks in a blameless and shameless way by interacting directly with the developers in real-time to stop any new risks from entering your source code while also helping resolve your risks backlog.

Entitle provides a seamless way to grant employees granular and just-in-time access within cloud infra and SaaS. It provides centralized entitlement visibility, self-serve access, and automated policy enforcement and access reviews. Security teams find this invaluable for ensuring every admin escalation is short-lived, break-glass production access, revoking permissions from vendors when their contract expires, making customer data accessible only when a support ticket is opened and so on.

Atmosec is a SaaS security venture whose platform is designed to secure hyperconnected SaaS ecosystems as they evolve. With a growing number of companies increasingly adopting a wide variety of SaaS products on the cloud to boost productivity throughout their organization, the potential for new security risks has also grown, as data is shared between many SaaS apps that the company’s security professionals can’t manage and dont control. This chaotic and ever-expanding SaaS ecosystem is attractive to attackers who exploit these often-unmonitored connections and seemingly legitimate business interactions. Static snapshot analyses don’t consider the behavior that indicates or creates vulnerabilities, which is why even best efforts at traditional monitoring of assets and users can’t detect all threats effectively. That’s where Atmosec comes in. Atmosec’s unique platform understands the contextual security settings of third-party SaaS services, monitors their behavior as they interact with each other, and automates the mitigation of actual and potential risks to protect your company’s data. To learn more about how well all your connected services are behaving, visit our website (https://www.atmosec.com) or get in touch to book a demo (https://www.atmosec.com/request-a-demo).
