No static keys. No standing secrets.
Short-lived, scoped tokens on the direct path. Live policy in the gateway. Nothing sits there forever, on any app.
Governance over every path agents use to access applications.

There's more than one way for agents to reach apps and data. C1 supports them all.
One sign-in to C1, and an agent reaches vendor apps, internal tools, and homegrown systems.
On Cross-App Access (XAA) apps, the agent gets direct, scoped access, and your application data never routes through us.
Cloud, legacy, on-premise: if it has an API, the gateway governs it in real time, with no app changes and no new protocol to adopt.
Token-issued or proxied through C1, the controls don't change. Written once, enforced on every path in.
Short-lived, scoped tokens on the direct path. Live policy in the gateway. Nothing sits there forever, on any app.
The same rules govern people and agents, whether C1 mints a token or proxies the call. Written once. Enforced everywhere.
Every connection logged with full identity context, token-issued or proxied. Who, what, when, why.
Humans, machines, and agents on a single identity graph.
Minting a token is becoming a commodity. The standard the apps land on matters less than the plane that governs them.
An app moves from gateway to direct token? The path changes underneath. The control plane doesn't.
C1 speaks Cross-App Access and reaches everything else, with no re-platforming when the protocol moves. One control plane for every way in.
