Midoor is a platform for granular access control over privileged sessions. Midoor mitigates the notorious exposure of data to sysadmins, allowing for safer system administration, secure DevOps operations, and protected third-party vendor connections.
Our secret sauce is compartmentalization, which we achieve by combining virtualization and AI technologies. Password vaults offer only a basic level of control and limited security benefits. The control is all or nothing, with users either checking out an admin account with full privileges or having none. While this technique was once enough to meet the requirements of basic security mandates, issuing even temporary privileges poses just the same security risks as a full admin account. Regulators are now calling for increasingly granular control, which means that the security bar has been raised.
As opposed to traditional Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions, Midoor introduces a new approach - Managed Privileged Access (MPA). Midoor infers the least resources needed for each individual IT task and provides privileged access only to them. This granular level of control mitigates the notorious exposure of data to sysadmins.
We are a team of security and information scientists who are passionate about cyber security and AI systems, driven by strong will to make the world a better place.
Midoor is funded by the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech
