# Abjuratory

*/Startups/Abjuratory*

## Startup Overview

This infrastructure security layer instantly revokes unauthorized access tokens across distributed environments. It ingests authentication events from gateways and microservices, identifying anomalous or out-of-policy token usage upon execution. Once triggered, the engine propagates invalidation commands universally to terminate compromised sessions.

Cloud security and engineering teams manage thousands of ephemeral access tokens, creating massive attack surfaces when credentials leak. Standard incident response relies on slow, manual workflows to trace and isolate a stolen session token. This system removes the exposure window between token theft and remediation by cutting access directly at the gateway.

Traditional identity managers like Ping Identity and SailPoint operate as centralized directories rather than active enforcement tools, leaving teams to rely on manual token rotation during active breaches. This architecture replaces manual intervention with a mechanism that is fully autonomous in execution. It severs unauthorized access instantly while maintaining an explicitly auditable ledger of every revocation event for strict regulatory compliance.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that instantly revokes unauthorized access tokens across distributed environments
**Competitors**:
- [Ping Identity](/Competitors/Ping_Identity)
- [SailPoint](/Competitors/SailPoint)
- [manual token rotation](/Competitors/manual_token_rotation)
**Differentiator2x2**: fully autonomous in execution and explicitly auditable for compliance

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day shadow-mode deployment in a single staging environment aiming to map baseline access patterns and prove 100% token identification without severing legitimate sessions.
- 60-day active enforcement trial across three distributed cloud gateways targeting the successful execution of 500 simulated token revocations in under 50 milliseconds each.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: Sub-50ms propagation time for token revocation commands across multi-cloud enterprise architectures
- Target: 100% automated enforcement rate for compromised credential termination without manual IT ticket intervention
- Target: 0 manual audit log compilation hours required for access termination compliance reports
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized fintech firm replacing manual ticket-based credential revocation with automated sub-50ms token termination across AWS and legacy on-prem systems during simulated breach exercises.
- Enterprise healthcare provider passing HIPAA compliance audits with zero findings on access termination controls by utilizing the cryptographically verifiable revocation ledger instead of compiling manual logs.
- Distributed SaaS platform eliminating session persistence for offboarded employees by deploying downstream proxy agents to instantly sever access across multiple global environments.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Chief Information Security Officer expressing relief that compromised credentials are automatically severed across all gateways in milliseconds without manual human intervention.
- Lead Compliance Auditor stating the immutable ledger provides absolute proof of access termination and entirely removes the need for manual log reviews.
- Cloud Architecture Lead praising the read-only shadow mode for allowing a safe baseline mapping period that ensures legitimate user sessions remain uninterrupted during deployment.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: False positive autonomous revocations lock out critical production workloads, causing unacceptable customer downtime. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Major Identity Providers restrict or rate-limit the administrative APIs required to execute cross-environment token revocations. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like Ping Identity or SailPoint release native, real-time token revocation features that negate the need for a standalone tool. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Audit logs generated by the autonomous engine fail to map directly to strict enterprise compliance frameworks, lengthening sales cycles. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
