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]

Valence says human, non-human, and agentic identities are spread across SaaS, cloud, and endpoints, far beyond what IAM was built to track. Valence says chained identities and privileges span systems, turning one rogue agent into an enterprise-wide incident. Valence says its platform lets teams enforce least privilege on agents and identities, fix misconfigurations, and control how AI connects to critical apps.^[3][5][14]

Valence says security teams can apply least-privilege controls to AI agents.^[3][7][8]

Security teams can apply one-click fixes directly from Valence or define automated triggers, outreach, and actions to enforce security policies.
