I was leading security for several organizations throughout their digital transformation journey. After experiencing firsthand the security team's struggle to keep up with the speed and complexity of DevOps, I built JupiterOne to fill that gap.Everything in IT governance, security, and compliance starts with knowing what assets you have, who owns them, how they are configured, and more importantly, how the dots are connected. JupiterOne is the graph knowledgebase of your entire digital operations. JupiterOne is currently being used by industry leaders like Reddit, Databricks, Auth0, and Addepar. It is the first cloud-native security and compliance platform built on a graph data model. It enables you to create and manage your entire digital infrastructure (not just cloud) as a knowledge base that you can ask questions and get answers.https://jupiterone.com/
