## Overview

Machine and service identities outnumber humans in most environments, and they are frequently the path attackers actually use. Token Security focuses on this [non-human identity](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-non-human-identity/) (NHI) problem, building a unified inventory of service accounts, secrets, workloads, and AI agents, then mapping their access and risk. Founded in 2023 in Tel Aviv, it frames itself around a machine-first identity security model. It is an early-stage entrant in a forming category.

## What it is good at

Token Security's value is in consolidating fragmented NHI data into one inventory with ownership, usage, and risk context, which makes cleanup and least-privilege work tractable. Governance and audit are the strongest areas, with growing coverage for AI agents. For teams that want a single machine-first view across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem rather than separate tools per environment, the unified inventory is the appeal.

## Where it falls short

Weaknesses follow from being young: it is not an IdP, so authentication and MFA sit outside the core, runtime issuance and rotation are limited compared with [secrets-management](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-secrets-management/) tools, and the reference base is small. The NHI space is still forming, so expect rapid roadmap changes and treat the product as a discovery and governance overlay rather than an enforcement control plane.

## Pricing

No public pricing. Enterprise subscription scoped by environment and connectors, sold through a sales-led motion with a proof of concept. Model identity counts with the [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/).

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

A fit for teams wanting a machine-identity-centric view across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem, and organizations preparing early for AI agent identity governance. Look elsewhere if you need a mature product with a long reference base, or want runtime credential issuance and rotation as the primary feature (see [Aembit](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/aembit/)). Compare with [Astrix Security](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/astrix-security/) (now part of Cisco and no longer sold standalone), [Oasis Security](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/oasis-security/), and the [AI identity](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/) category.

## Bottom line

A credible early entrant for organizations that want machine and AI agent identity visibility now. Verify maturity against your specific environments before standardizing on it.
