Enterprise identity teams have invested billions in IGA, IdPs, and PAM, yet 78% of breaches still involve compromised credentials and associated standing access. Why? Because these tools manage identity in isolation, creating fragmented context and static access decisions that cant adapt to real-time threats. Meanwhile, attackers exploit the exposure windows between when access is granted and when it should be revoked. SGNL pioneered Continuous Identity—centralizing all identity and security context into a unified intelligence layer that evaluates and orchestrates access decisions at the speed of business. Our platform doesnt just monitor—it actively orchestrates access based on real-time context: business activity, security posture, behavioral patterns, and environmental factors. We integrate seamlessly with your existing IAM investments, dramatically improving their performance while eliminating the legacy bottlenecks that create risk and drive up costs. The result: access that finally matches reality, exposure windows that disappear, and an IAM program that actually works. It’s why multiple Fortune 100 companies and fast-growing, global enterprises alike are turning to SGNL to reduce their identity attack surfaces, and why SGNL is backed by top security technology investors including Cisco and Microsoft.

Were redefining how America competes. Our products are used today by friendly forces around the world to shape adversary behavior, expose malign influence, and detect illicit activity. We started in 2019 with a belief that the public servants who put themselves in harm’s way deserve better technology. The defense status quo wasn’t cutting it, so we built a team that obsesses over real-world mission impact. We iterate fast, deploy forward, and build with end users in mind. Since then, we’ve grown from $3M to $80M in revenue, stayed profitable, and scaled to 200+ people, while raising just $12M. We value ownership, transparency, and teamwork. We build like our work matters, because it does. And we’re building a company where the best operators in the country come together to win, grow, and do the best work of their careers. We’re expanding our edge across cyber, economic warfare, and next-gen sensing. If you want to help America win before and beyond the battlefield, we want you.
