## Executive Summary

Hush Security offers security teams a platform that replaces the static secrets machines and AI agents use with access granted just in time, at the moment of use. Hush positions that against peer vendors that inventory and govern such secrets rather than replace them. Hush's customer proof is largely self-published. Press coverage reports paying Fortune 500 customers without naming them. The endorsements from executives at PlaxidityX, Swimlane, and Firefly are testimonials on Hush's own homepage. A buyer can independently confirm the founding team, which built Meta Networks and sold it to Proofpoint for $120 million in 2019. The $11 million seed led by Battery Ventures and YL Ventures is also on the public record. The customer traction, for now, is Hush's own account of itself.
