ColorTokens Inc., a Silicon Valley company, delivers proactive security for modern enterprise. Built from the ground up for zero trust, the ColorTokens cloud-delivered platform offers a new-generation of proactive security that simplifies and streamlines protection and compliance for cloud workloads, applications, and endpoints. ColorTokens stops tomorrow’s threats, without needing siloed point security products, additional hardware, or multiple visibility tools.
Many security vendors try to solve the challenges of only one or two areas of enterprise security. And with the uptake of multi-cloud environments, the number of security vendors has only increased – creating operational headache and security gaps. ColorTokens is the only vendor that provides zero trust security at the Network, Process and Application layer. This is because ColorTokens understands that security must be holistic – providing 360-degree protection for enterprises.
CIOs and security teams are frustrated with too many point security products in their enterprise. How will they know if one of the workloads/endpoints are covertly sending sensitive data to a hacker’s command and control server? With ColorTokens Xtended Zero Trust Platform, enterprises can stop playing catch up with sophisticated cyberattacks and protect from multiple threat vectors:
2) Process - Visualize running processes and lock-down endpoints, servers and, fixed-function systems like ATMs
3) Application - Visualize data flows within the applications and stop OWASP top 10+ attacks in real-time.
4) Zero trust network access Implements zero trust security on user identity and controls user access to critical business applications from office campus, home or public Wi-Fi.
“ColorTokens is the ONLY vendor that understands the customer’s limitations and is proactively managing the situation. Others just blame us.” – CIO – Leading US-based global fashion retailer.

2) Zero trust security for end points - Lockdown any endpoint by automatically allowing only whitelisted processes. Block zero day or fileless exploits and stop communication to C&C servers. Effortlessly tamper-proof your legacy or fixed function endpoints.
3) Zero trust security for applications - A holistic security approach that protects applications and data from perimeter attacks, internal threats and vulnerabilities. It protects applications from top Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) attacks and open source software vulnerabilities while providing unprecedented east-west granular visibility into the application traffic flow. This visibility empowers security teams with powerful insights.
