Common Fate was founded with the vision of making cloud security simple and without hindering or slowing down high velocity DevOps teams. After working on a number of startups and projects together as consultants, founders and advisors, we observed how complex cloud security is and how often security is traded-off in favour of nimble and speedy software delivery. This typical approach represents a huge security risk. In our view, the key to cloud security and protecting the cloud perimeter starts with identity and access management (IAM). The way to optimise IAM at scale is to integrate it with DevOps as tightly as possible and empower developers and engineers to work securely by default. Common Fate's IAM solution is designed for the next generation of cloud adoption and to enable secure-by-default workflows that move at the speed of DevOps.
