As we kick off 2025, the Corsha team would like to take a moment to reflect on a truly remarkable year. This past year brought significant milestones and transformative growth. From achieving an Authorization to Operate (ATO) with the Department of Defense to deepening partnerships with industry leaders like Dell through Project Fort Zero, we expanded our reach and impact.
We expanded our OT efforts with the United States Air Force (USAF), the Defense Logistics Agency and others, added support for additional OT protocols and standards, further solidifying our leadership in the identity space for operational systems. This work aligns directly with our mission to secure all operational systems, not just those that are cloud-based. Additionally, we delivered meaningful advancements in expanding our commercial deployments, working with important customers across regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and insurance. Our ability to engage with key design partners has been instrumental in refining our offerings and ensuring they meet the evolving needs of our customers.
On the product front, we rolled out key enhancements around Adaptive Identity and Access Management (IAM) for machines, ensuring that our customers’ hybrid ecosystems remain secure in an ever-evolving threat landscape. This introduction of an adaptive, agentless offering reinforces our leadership in the identity security space to reach and protect operational systems broadly. Corsha now can seamlessly integrate with a broader range of machines, and has functionality to import secrets and identities through third-party API token stores, like Entra ID or AWS, and provide greater visibility into how these credentials are being used (or mis-used). This capability combined with MFA provides a standout solution in the identity security space for machines. Together, they represent the most comprehensive and sophisticated identity provider for operational systems.
One of the standout achievements of 2024 was our customer success and customer satisfaction. One marker of Corsha’s success last year was not just rapid product development and innovation, it was the adoption we were seeing across our user base. Customers in regulated industries embraced our solutions, integrating them into their critical workflows. This adoption not only reflected trust in our offerings but also demonstrated their scalability and effectiveness in meeting real-world challenges. As we move into 2025, we are excited to build on this momentum, continuing to prioritize evolving customer needs and delivering impactful results.
We also launched a Security Design Partnership Program, an initiative designed to foster collaboration with key customers across critical industries. This program enables customers to provide direct input into our product roadmap, ensuring that our solutions align closely with their operational challenges and goals. Participants benefit from early access to new innovations and deeper partnerships, allowing them to stay ahead of evolving cybersecurity threats while shaping the future of non-human identity security. We look forward to continuing this program in 2025, and engaging additional partners across even more verticals to participate.
Internally, 2024 was a year of significant growth for our team. We welcomed talented individuals across key functions, including Peter Gray and Joseph Lao, our latest additions to the customer engineering team, and Jacob Bartolomei, our first Data Scientist. To complement this growth, we adopted agile methodologies across our sales and marketing teams, enhancing collaboration and efficiency. Together as a team we continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers and stay at the forefront of innovation.
Operating in a nascent and rapidly evolving space, Corsha has emerged as a leader with the most comprehensive and mature offerings in identity security for operational systems. The challenges of 2024 pushed us to innovate, refine, and expand our solutions, ensuring they meet the real-world demands of our customers. As we move into 2025, we are confident that the work we have done over the past year positions us to set the standard for securing non-human identities.
To our customers and partners: thank you for your collaboration and support in 2024. We are incredibly excited to continue to innovate, build stronger relationships, and deliver impactful solutions that address your most pressing cybersecurity challenges in the coming year.

Before We Go
Over the holiday break, Corsha’s offices were closed from 12/25-1/3. In addition to Corsha’s generous time off policy, this company-wide time off allowed Corshian’s to recharge and reconnect with friends and family. This also allowed us time to consume media and cook great food.
Here's a roundup of what we watched and read from folks in technology who we revere:
