01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Kivera was a cloud security, data protection and compliance platform founded by Vernon Jefferson. Unlike traditional cloud security posture management (CSPM) systems or infrastructure-as-code scanning tools that alert teams only after something goes wrong, Kivera put preventive controls directly into the cloud deployment process - inline - preventing misconfigurations and risks before they happened. It also automated compliance with common regulatory standards.
