“We are constantly looking at emerging technologies that are disrupting the market and are very excited to begin offering Elisity to our customers. They have taken a unique approach to ZTNA, enabling organizations to quickly begin their Zero Trust journey by securing their remote and hybrid workforce, all while providing the ability to scale to tens of thousands of users and devices on prem and remote,” said Ed Walton, CEO of STEPcg.

Elisity recently closed $26M in Series A funding with two new strategic investors Two Bear Capital and AllegisCyber Capital, as well as existing investor Atlantic Bridge.

Elisity’s identity and AI-powered behavioral intelligence delivers better visibility and a single security enforcement policy for people and devices accessing applications and data across SaaS and cloud services.
