New Harbor
We founded New Harbor to bring foundational cybersecurity to organizations of all sizes. Today, we serve customers operating globally through our software platform and expert support. We’re advancing this mission by launching a self-service platform that automates the deployment and management of security measures – making it easy for any organization to benefit from the protections proven to stop most attacks without being overwhelmed.
Organizations today face an impossible problem: employees use hundreds of SaaS apps, but enforcing consistent security across them means manually configuring each one. Enterprise SSO only works if you pay premium tiers everywhere.
We’re building a platform that lets you approve a rule once – like “enforce multi-factor authentication” – and have it enforced everywhere possible without having to configure every application. We combine API integrations with an AI-assisted browser extension to automate security controls in any application.
We’re building towards our public launch. The technical challenges are real: reliably automating security controls across hundreds of different applications, building a rule engine that works across varied APIs and browser interfaces, and doing it all in a way that scales. If you’re excited about building something from the ground up that solves a problem security teams actually have, we’d love to talk.
