Palo Alto, CA – May 1, 2025 — Permiso Security, the leader in real-time identity security, has been honored with the "Most Promising Early-Stage Startup" award at the 2025 SC Awards, announced during the RSA Conference in San Francisco.​

This prestigious recognition underscores Permiso's innovative approach to securing both human and non-human identities across cloud service providers, identity platforms, and SaaS applications. Earlier this month, the startup announced the launch of the Permiso platform, threat-informed risk exposure coupled with their existing best In class threat detection. The platform detects and protects against all identity threats across all cloud and on-premise environments. 

Permiso delivers real-time exposures insights and threat detection capabilities that traditional security tools often lack. With over 1,500 detection signals tied to real-world adversary tactics, Permiso enables security teams to transition from passive posture checks to active identity threat defense. ​ 

"Identity security needs to be addressed with a holistic approach that eliminates the potential for blind spots. Permiso monitors both human and non-human users to quickly identify those that are most likely to be compromised, and those that have already been compromised. Permiso gives us a central inventory of all of our identities and credentials, their vulnerabilities, and monitors them for suspicious and malicious behavior, allowing us to quickly and effectively respond to threats."

"I'm very proud of the Permiso team for all the work to earn this humble recognition of our contributions to the security community," said Permiso co-founder and co-CEO, Paul Nguyen. "Our customers and team members make us who we are."

Permiso's capabilities are already trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises, luxury hospitality groups, and tech leaders operating some of the largest cloud environments globally. The platform's rapid adoption has been driven by increasing cloud complexity and high-profile campaigns like those from LUCR-3 (Scattered Spider), which have exposed the limitations of traditional identity tools.

Customer feedback highlights Permiso's impact:​

• "Permiso has proven to be indispensable to the way we manage and secure identities across multiple cloud environments," said Sebastian Goodwin, Chief Trust Officer at Autodesk

• "Permiso's ability to track identities and their activities across IaaS, SaaS and identity providers at runtime is unlike any of our existing solutions," said Michael Hensley, Head of Cybersecurity and HIPAA Security Officer at Modern Health.

• "Permiso literally helps me sleep better at night," shared the Head of Cybersecurity at a leading luxury casino and resort.
