Native Security sells a platform that turns the security controls already built into AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI into enforced policy. A security team states an outcome, such as no path from the internet to regulated data, and Native translates it into each provider’s enforcement mechanisms, simulates the change against past cloud activity, and watches for drift. Founders who led Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, and Check Point’s cloud security line left stealth in March 2026 with $42 million and press reports of unnamed enterprise customers. Because Native configures controls the customer already owns rather than inserting agents, the coupling looks looser, its removal behavior undocumented. Renewal then depends on continued operation, catching drift, and covering new services.
