Kodem
Kodem is an Israeli cybersecurity startup building identity-native network access controls that enforce least privilege and reduce lateral movement risk in hybrid environments.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Kodem focuses on converging identity and network control, replacing broad trust zones with context-aware policy enforcement. The platform aims to simplify zero-trust adoption by making segmentation and access governance more dynamic and identity-driven.
The company competes in a segment overlapping ZTNA, microsegmentation, and identity access control. Differentiation depends on deployment practicality, policy accuracy, and ability to reduce operational friction while improving containment.
Dual-use relevance is high because identity-centric access and lateral movement prevention are core security needs across enterprise and defense-adjacent mission networks.
Dual-Use Assessment
Identity-native network access control is dual-use capability for enterprise security and defense-adjacent network hardening against lateral intrusion.
Key Technologies
