Friction meter
Best forSecurity and identity teams that must control how AI agents and MCP servers reach enterprise data, APIs and SaaS apps.; Enterprises replacing long-lived secrets in CI/CD, Kubernetes and service-to-service workloads with short-lived, policy-scoped credentials.; Organizations deploying agentic AI in regulated environments that need per-agent audit trails and one-click revocation.; Teams already running OIDC, OAuth 2.1, SPIFFE or cloud workload identity that want an identity broker rather than new SDKs.Government agencies and regulators needing sovereign data residency and AI that runs inside their own boundary.; Defense contractors and critical infrastructure operators with air-gapped, segmented or OT environments.; Complex multi-entity enterprises running many frameworks across distributed business units.; Advisors, MSPs and vCISO providers delivering white-label GRC services to many clients from one hub.; Security, risk and compliance teams that must keep ISO 27001, NIST CSF, DORA, SOC 2, Essential Eight or IRAP obligations audit-ready.
Not forCompanies with no non-human or AI-agent access to govern; human-user IAM alone is handled by existing IdPs.; Teams looking for a plain secrets manager or vault; Aembit issues short-lived credentials instead of storing secrets.; Buyers wanting an AI agent runtime or LLM orchestration platform; Aembit brokers access, it does not run agents.; Small shops unwilling to manage metered per-workload or per-agent pricing.Startups and small businesses looking for a cheap self-serve checklist tool.; Teams that only need a single framework and have no multi-entity or sovereign requirements.; Organizations unwilling to run structured onboarding and Hub & Spoke configuration.; Buyers who need a published self-checkout list price before talking to sales.
