## Overview

Whiteswan Security offers an identity-first privileged access and zero-trust platform that spans human and non-human identities across endpoints and infrastructure. Founded in 2022 in Santa Clara, it tries to unify privilege controls under a single identity model rather than splitting PAM, endpoint, and NHI tooling. It is an emerging vendor, and its claims are best verified with a pilot.

## What it is good at

The differentiator is one identity-first, [zero-trust](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-zero-trust/) model covering humans and machines together, rather than separate products bolted onto each other. It scores well on authentication, authorization, lifecycle, and governance for teams that want consistent privilege policy across endpoints, infrastructure, and [non-human identities](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-non-human-identity/). The unified approach can reduce tool sprawl for organizations standardizing on zero trust.

## Where it falls short

As a 2022-founded startup, large-scale references and proven maturity are limited, and the breadth of the pitch means depth in any single area needs scrutiny. It is not a pure secrets scanner, so teams needing only that will find it heavier than required. The agentic and NHI category is young, so integrations and enforcement coverage are still expanding.

## Pricing

No public pricing. Quote-based subscription through a sales-led process. Model your endpoint and identity counts with the [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/) before comparing.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

A fit for teams that want identity-first, zero-trust PAM that includes NHIs under one model. Look elsewhere if you need a proven large-scale platform, only secrets scanning, or a runtime workload broker like [Aembit](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/aembit/). Compare with [P0 Security](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/p0-security/) for cloud access governance and the broader [AI identity](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/) category and [machine-identity](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/machine-identity/) tools.

## Bottom line

An emerging, identity-first PAM that folds non-human identities into one zero-trust model. Compelling vision, early proof points.
