Authentic8's threat model is straightforward: every web session is a potential breach vector. Founded in 2010, the company built Silo, a cloud-native web isolation platform that runs all web code in a secure, remote container, physically separating organizational apps, data, and devices from untrusted web content. The approach eliminates the browser as an attack surface rather than trying to patch it, and it's delivering over 350,000 of these isolated sessions monthly.
The customer base signals real operational credibility: more than 750 government agencies and commercial enterprises, including federal agencies and Fortune 500 organizations, rely on Silo for secure web access. The company holds 12 U.S. patents in the space and maintains certifications across FedRAMP, NIST, ISO, PCI, HIPAA, and SOC compliance frameworks. Technical domains span web isolation engineering, cloud security architecture, federated identity management, API integration, and compliance automation.
Authentic8 operates out of Redwood City, Washington D.C., and Herndon, VA - geography that maps to its dual government and enterprise focus. The engineering challenge sits at the intersection of remote browser isolation, zero-trust access, and large-scale cloud orchestration. For practitioners who think in terms of architectural security controls rather than signature-based detection, this is the kind of platform work that redefines how organizations interact with the public internet.
