## About Agilicus

We believe enhanced security should be simple and economical for organizations of
all sizes. Through the Agilicus AnyX platform, we are helping businesses increase
security while delivering an invisible IT security experience to their users with
a Zero Trust Network Architecture.

Adopt cloud-native security and let your authorized users get simple, secure access
to applications, desktops, shares, and other corporate resources and services.

## Our Purpose

Organisations shouldn’t be forced to choose between enabling their people, securing
corporate and customer data, or reducing the cost of cyber security. At Agilicus
our goal is to ensure modern, cloud-native security can be adopted quickly and effectively.

As a SaaS provider of Zero Trust Network Architecture, Agilicus enables secure access
to any application, from any network, for any user on any device, without the need
for a VPN or a client.

## Our Investors

Agilicus is backed by investors who have a long history of success in the technology
and cybersecurity space, including:

## Why Don’t Great Security and Cloud Overlap?

[⌊cloud-native-security⌉⌊cloud-native-security⌉[

For years organizations have had to choose between a solid, but limited security
posture with severe limitations on accessibility and scalability or pursue the benefits
of the cloud with an acceptance that security would be reactive. 

Each approach has major shortcomings, be it the introduction of new risks, excessive
resource consumption, or added complexity. This historic tug of war undermines the
efficiency, speed, and effectiveness every organization needs to compete.

In 2018, we set our sights on understanding why cloud-native security wasn’t a reality.
Bit-by-bit, we architected, built, and launched a platform that made it a reality
without the need for VPNs, gateways, appliances, or clients.

## Agilicus AnyX

Agilicus AnyX is an easy-to-deploy, all-in-one Zero Trust Network Access platform
that allows organizations to improve security and equip employees with frictionless
access, simply and economically. That means organizations can adopt cloud-native
security while authorized users can get secure, frictionless access to applications,
desktops, shares, and other corporate resources and services. A secure alternative
to perimeter-based network access, Agilicus AnyX provides a clear view of who is
doing what, when, and for how long with an easy-to-access web-based portal for managing
policies, roles, and access privileges.

## Leadership

In order to be successful, organizations need a culture of creativity and innovation.
This starts with the leadership team who must create an environment where employees
can bring their whole selves to the work they do – both thoughtfully engaged as 
well as free from interference or distraction. 

We’re a collection of white hats, engineers, architects, developers, and security
experts. Our team has deep experience starting, scaling, and operating world-class
technical organizations and is now devoted to making the cloud secure.
