Grip

Grip Security is an Israeli cybersecurity company focused on SaaS identity security. The company was founded by Lior Yaari, Avi Shua, and Rom Carmel. Grip is headquartered in the United States with R&D operations in Israel, and operates as a privately held company.

Grip's core product is a SaaS Security Control Plane — a platform that gives enterprise security teams visibility and control over all SaaS applications in use across an organization, including unsanctioned or shadow SaaS. The platform focuses on identity-centric risk: mapping which user identities (employees, contractors, service accounts) are connected to which SaaS applications, flagging exposed credentials, and enabling security teams to enforce access governance without requiring endpoint agents or network proxies. The primary buyers are enterprise security and identity teams, particularly those managing large, fragmented SaaS estates.

Grip competes in the SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) and identity security space alongside companies such as Obsidian Security and Varonis. The broader category also overlaps with CASB vendors. Grip differentiates by focusing specifically on identity risk associated with SaaS access rather than data loss prevention or broad cloud posture management.
