Чем занимается Alter

Alter is a zero-trust identity and access control platform purpose-built for AI agents. It wraps every tool call in strong authentication, fine-grained authorization, and real-time guardrails, so agents can move fast without breaking things. Each request is verified at the parameter level, authorized against granular policies, executed with least-privilege access, and fully audited in real time. Unsafe actions, whether it’s a rogue DROP TABLE or a payment above policy limits, are blocked before they touch production. Behind the scenes, Alter manages credentials, issuing ephemeral, scope-narrowed access for every interaction, then rotating or expiring it in seconds. The result: no long-lived secrets, no blind spots, and no surprises in audit. With Alter, teams can move fast on AI agent initiatives while staying fully compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and internal security standards. A CISO-ready dashboard delivers real-time visibility, detailed audit logs, and compliance-ready controls, removing silos, eliminating excessive permissions, and providing complete oversight of every agent workflow.

Secure access control for agent workflows

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Alter, a zero-trust identity and access control platform designed specifically for AI agents. It wraps every tool call with strong authentication, fine-grained authorization, and real-time guardrails. Alter verifies each request at the parameter level, enforces least-privilege access, and audits every interaction in real time. Our platform blocks unsafe actions before they affect production by managing ephemeral credentials scoped to each interaction and rotating them within seconds. This lets teams move fast on AI agent projects without risking security or compliance.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is in New York, and this is where we've built and tested our product. Staying here keeps us close to our initial users and security communities we engage with.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Alter в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Alter (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Alter представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
