What the company sells

Aembit enforces every agent access request through a verified identity, short-lived authorization, and a fully attributed compliance log. The company sells an identity control plane aimed at AI agents and at traditional workloads.

Aembit says the same control plane governs workforce agents, autonomous agents, and traditional workloads, with one identity model, one policy engine, and one audit trail. Workforce agents are internal copilots, coding assistants, and personal agents that employees connect to work resources. Autonomous agents act independently on a schedule, on an event, or in a business process, with no human in the loop. Aembit says the same trust model applies to custom agents and to managed platforms like Claude and Copilot Studio.

On credentials, Aembit replaces long-lived credentials with short-lived, scoped credentials issued at runtime. Aembit can either mint short-lived credentials, vault them, or pull credentials from an existing vault like Amazon Key Manager, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault. Aembit pulls contextual information from existing tools such as Crowdstrike Falcon or Wiz to assess operating characteristics of AI agents and workloads before giving them access to sensitive data and systems.

The platform has several parts. Aembit Cloud is the SaaS-based control center and provides policy definition, policy management, and policy evaluation. Aembit's MCP Identity Gateway is a control point that exchanges an AI agent's access token for the appropriate MCP server credentials, without exposing those credentials to the agent. Aembit Edge intercepts outgoing requests from a client workload and validates its identity through cryptographic attestation using trust providers such as AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes and GitHub Actions. A trust provider is a federation relationship that lets Aembit cryptographically verify the identity of an agent or workload, and a credential provider is a federation relationship with target services such as an MCP server, a database, or a cloud resource.

Aembit describes several access controls. Tool filtering allows or blocks individual tools, so a read-only agent stays read-only. One click cuts off an agent's access immediately while leaving any associated user's sessions or permissions unaffected. Authorization Events are identity-based logs that show each approved or denied authorization attempt with reasons.

Aembit says it augments the identity providers, protocols, and standards already in a customer's stack, with no proprietary SDK and no lock-in. Aembit integrates with API gateways such as Kong, AWS API Gateway, and Apigee by issuing short-lived, workload-bound JWTs or OAuth tokens that the gateway validates on inbound requests. Aembit is designed to be integrated into customer systems and run at production speed and scale via infrastructure as code.

On compliance, Aembit says it helps organizations satisfy the identity- and access-related requirements in standards such as NIST, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS by eliminating static credentials and enforcing consistent, policy-driven access for workloads. Its published case studies include Red Cup IT, a managed service provider, and a Fortune 250 retailer that secures access to HashiCorp Vault. The terms of service name Aembit, Inc as the contracting company and define its services as its website and its web-based and downloadable workload identity and access management services.^{[1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}
