# Native

> Native is an enterprise cloud-security control plane that turns plain-language security intent into provider-native controls across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Rather than compete primarily on finding more cloud risks, it maps an estate, translates desired outcomes into each provider's policy machinery, simulates the operational impact, deploys through infrastructure-as-code or its console, and monitors for drift. The Seattle-based company was founded in 2024 by former leaders of Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub and Check Point CloudGuard, and emerged from stealth in March 2026 with $42 million in total funding.

- **Notable:** Emerged from stealth in March 2026 with $42 million in total disclosed funding., Raised a $31 million Series A led by Ballistic Ventures., Recruited former Google Cloud CISO Phil Venables to its board.

## Products & services

- **Cloud Security Control Plane** — A SaaS platform that maps multi-cloud estates, translates security intent into provider-native controls, simulates impact, deploys changes and monitors enforcement drift across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and OCI.
- **Organization Intelligence** — Discovers accounts, resources, identities, access paths and organizational zones to model how a cloud estate is actually structured.
- **Architecture & Perimeter Mapping** — Visualizes zones, actors and connections so teams can define and inspect perimeters and segmentation boundaries.
- **Intent Translation** — Converts plain-language outcomes into cloud-specific policies and configurations, including IAM, network and resource-level controls.
- **Impact Simulation** — Replays historical audit activity against proposed controls to show actions that would have been blocked before rollout.
- **Integrated Enforcement Feedback** — Deploys through infrastructure-as-code pipelines or the Native console and provides context when controls block engineering actions.
- **Exception Management** — Supports approvals, phased rollouts, documented exceptions and rollback for operationally sensitive policy changes.
