The Access Intelligence Layer.

Uniting Identity and Data to stop Illegitimate access

Our Vision

A world where every organization can embrace AI and move at machine speed, with every access visible, explainable, legitimate, and controllable.
Backed By The Best

״For years we've tried to solve identity and data security as separate problems. Dawn has created a unified solution that addresses both.״

״Identity and data have been governed separately for too long. Dawn brings them together to stop illegitimate access after authorization is granted״

״AI is tearing apart cybersecurity, making robust protection of organizational data more critical than ever. We backed Dawn because they deliver that protection and redefine the Access Intelligence category.״

Questions we get asked.

Most solutions need my team to manage them after deployment. Is Dawn the same?

No. There are no rules to write and no policies to maintain. Dawn learns the context of your data and your identities dynamically , so the thing you would normally tune by hand is the thing the product does itself. Your team can take action on the spot, it does not administer a policy engine.

How do you secure AI agents?

By treating each AI Agent as an identity with a specific intent. Dawn can also indicate the agents nobody registered, maps the data each actually reached, and flags the access that was never meant to happen.

Is Dawn an Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform (IVIP) solution?

Yes - Dawn does what the IVIP category describes, and adds the half that category leaves out: the business data aspects. Knowing which identities exist and what they can reach is table stakes. Determining whether the access that happened was legitimate is what we add.

Don’t Identity tools already cover this?

Identity tools answer who could reach what. That is a permissions question, answered before access happens. Dawn answers what those identities are actually doing with this access, and whether it should happen or not. Every customer we talk to has the first answer and none of them have the second.

How fast is it to deploy Dawn’s solution?

Dawn deploys across your SaaS, identity and AI stack and reconstructs access history within hours. No agents on endpoints, no policy-writing phase.

Where does Dawn sit in our stack?

Dawn is one platform spanning Identity Security, Data Security, AI Governance, and Compliance. It sits post-authorization, alongside the tools that govern what can be accessed.

Can Dawn label my data like DSPM solutions?

DSPM classifies sensitive data but has no business context about the identities using it. Dawn classifies the data all the time, tracking any change, and reassesses whether the access to it was legitimate.

Are you using anomaly detection? Should I expect a high FP rate?

No, and no. Anomaly detection flags access that is unusual, but unusual isn't the same as wrong, and that gap is why those tools bury teams in alerts. Dawn judges legitimacy against the purpose of the access and the identity's history, so you get a decision, not a deviation to chase. If a colleague touches a new data topic for the first time, Dawn recognizes it fits their role and doesn't raise a false alarm.

Authorized ≠ Legitimate.

Identity + Data + Intent = Legitimate
