About Valence

Valence sells a platform that discovers and protects human, non-human, and AI agent identities across endpoint, cloud, and SaaS. Valence combines SaaS security and AI governance to enable security teams to discover, protect, and detect and respond to threats across their SaaS and AI ecosystem.^[1][3][5]
