The Zero Trust Platform

Built for Machines

Operant is a pioneer of zero trust infrastructure for machines and AI, securing critical systems that run our world. Deny-by-default. Every machine. Every AI agent. Every interaction.

We Feel You

Non-human interactions are growing exponentially, while attackers leveraging AI can find and exploit vulnerabilities at machine speed. Security teams remain under-resourced and caught between locking things down and keeping the business moving

We Got You

Operant enforces trust at the point of connection, every AI agent and machine authenticated in real time. Deny-by-default. Every machine. Every AI agent. Every interaction

Trust ≠ Network Diagrams

Most organizations still trust a connection because of where it sits on the network. That assumption breaks down as AI, devices, and machines multiply faster than any diagram or framework can track. Operant closes that gap:

  • Visibility & Observability: Monitor interactions between machines, AI, users, and data to reduce risk and improve control

  • Machine Identities: Every device, agent, and connection gets its own cryptographic identity, not a shared secret

  • Microsegmentation: Every connection isolated and independently trusted, down to the individual device or session, without redesigning the network

  • Detection and Response at Machine Speed: See unauthorized access and anomalous behavior the moment it happens, not after the fact

The Trust Fabric

"Zero Trust" evolved from a cybersecurity philosophy into a product category focused on human login: authenticate the person, check the device, grant least-privilege access. Industry forgot to consider machines talking to machines. Today, M2M and AI-to-AI connections vastly outnumber humans, yet most Zero Trust solutions still default to human MFA

Operant's Trust Fabric is the answer. It governs how AI agents, machines, tools, and data interact: per connection, at runtime, and with context. Every device, agent, API, and dataset is authenticated, authorized, and governed, not just at login, but throughout every interaction.

The result: systems that are secure, privacy-aware, and audit-ready by design.

Trust Across Every AI Interaction

Machine-to-Machine

Protocol-level trust for industrial control systems.

AI-to-Data

Control how models access, transform, and generate sensitive information.

AI-to-Machine

Govern how AI agents access and act on physical systems

Built for How Teams Define Trust

Operant adapts to your organization’s definition of trust and enforces it automatically at runtime.

Teams can:

  • Define trust and data-use policies

  • Monitor behavior in real time

  • Resolve issues with cryptographic evidence, not guesswork

With Zero Trust built in, authorization and privacy controls are applied per connection, ensuring systems remain segmented, secure, and compliant as they scale.
