Multifactor

The agentic era is here, but its foundation is dangerously insecure. A growing number of high-profile "AI agent gone rogue" security incidents make headlines each week. As enterprise adoption of agentic software has far outpaced the development of applicable cybersecurity solutions, CISOs have loudly voiced a growing need for verifiable, fine-grained security controls on complex multi-agent systems. That's why we built Multifactor. Multifactor offers best-in-class authentication, authorization,
