Why we built Korvalis

On a small team, everyone has the keys.

Engineers, contractors, scripts, and now AI agents all have deep access to your cloud. Most days that is fine. Then one wrong command, one leaked key, or one session that goes sideways takes your live systems down before anyone even notices.

The tools that stop this today were built for big enterprises with big budgets and dedicated security teams. Everyone smaller was left choosing between hoping nothing breaks and buying something they cannot afford or operate.

That never sat right with us. A fifteen-person company deserves the same protection as a fifteen-hundred-person one.

What Korvalis does

Korvalis installs inside your own cloud account and watches what is actually happening across your account and your live sessions. Instead of matching one command against a blocklist, it reads the intent of the whole session. The moment that session turns destructive, Korvalis shuts it down on its own, in seconds, whoever or whatever is behind it.

No proxy. No security hire. It starts in observe mode, so it is safe from day one, and you are live in about half an hour.

Where we are

First version is live and we are getting it in front of teams now. If that sounds like something you need, join the waitlist and we will reach out.
