Identity governance failures are behind some of the most costly breaches of the last decade. C1 outlines 13 proven IGA best practices that help security teams enforce least privilege, automate access lifecycles, and stay continuously audit-ready in 2026.
Hand agents short-lived access instead of secrets. Governed by default.
Every credential is a key to something. The C1 Agentic Vault locks your secrets away, governs who can use them, and hands agents short-lived access.
Credentials land in a vault built on zero-knowledge, quantum-resistant cryptography.
Every request runs through C1 policy: who or what is asking, on which device, under what approval.
Grants, retrievals, and decoy alarms in one audit trail.
Agents get the access,
never the underlying secret.
How it works
A trust rule lets a workload exchange its signed identity for a short-lived, scoped credential issued by C1. No plaintext key handed over, nothing standing to steal.
Stored secrets resist harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks.
How it works
Secrets are encrypted on the device before anything is sent: C1 stores the ciphertext, and only members' devices hold keys that can read it.
Every secret gets an owner, a policy, and an audit trail.
How it works
C1 finds an exposed credential on the endpoint and secures it: the secret moves into the vault and the plaintext becomes a managed reference that resolves at runtime.
Turn credential theft into an alert.
How it works
C1 vends credentials that look exactly like real ones but belong to no legitimate workload: human and service-principal credentials, connector credentials, access tokens, even federation trusts. Each authenticates against C1-monitored endpoints, so any use, anywhere, is observable.
See every secret governed like access, from discovery to expiry.
Govern the tool calls agents make with the access you grant.
