About

PortShift develops application security solutions that depart from IPs, ports, protocols, labels, and traditional firewalls while enabling DevOps to operate freely. The company's solution enables crypto visibility and control in the cloud by allowing security controls to be orchestrated by development and DevOps teams from the start. PortShift's underlying identity-based technology enables application and workload execution only on identified infrastructure and access only for identified services, enabling a network that consists solely of pre-approved communication. The company offers a holistic operational model that allows automation for current and next-generation infrastructure, from bare metal and virtual machines to containers and serverless, integrated with CI/CD. The multilayered, identity-based model offers contextual visibility and seamless environment migration with emergent security. PortShift was built by Team8.
