Identity security for humans and AI agents

C1.ai, formerly ConductorOne, is the identity platform for the AI era. It connects humans, non-human identities, and AI agents to enterprise systems with scoped access, enforced policies, human approval, and a record of every action.

The platform brings identity governance, just-in-time access, lifecycle management, an MCP gateway, shadow AI discovery, and secrets management together in one place.

It runs on a unified identity graph, with AI agents to manage the complex work of access management. It integrates with thousands of MCPs and applications, so security and IT teams can see and control who and what has access across the whole environment, with compliance evidence built in.

For enterprises scaling AI adoption, C1.ai makes the governed path the fastest one. People and agents get the access they need, security teams keep control, and every action can be audited.

The company was founded in 2020 by Alex Bovee, CEO, and Paul Querna, CTO, and has raised over $100M in funding.

Alex and Paul met while at Okta, where Alex led Okta's Authentication (AMFA, MFA), Security, Infrastructure / Privileged Access Management, and Federal product lines. Paul founded and led ScaleFT, a cybersecurity startup that was acquired by Okta, where he served as architect for Okta's Access Gateway product.
