Overview

Valence offers the Collaborative SaaS Security Remediation platform that applies zero‑trust security principles to what it calls the Business Application Mesh of interconnected, self‑hosted SaaS applications, integrations and marketplaces. The platform helps security teams gain visibility into sprawling SaaS usage, prioritize SaaS security, configuration and compliance risks, and enable automated, decentralized remediation workflows across distributed organizations. Valence emphasizes making security decisions in business context and shifting perceptions so security teams act as business enablers rather than impediments. The company positions its solution to address SaaS supply‑chain attack risk and misconfigured third‑party integrations that expose organizations to attackers. Customer response has been described as overwhelmingly positive, though the company did not disclose specific metrics. Financially, Valence recently completed a funding round that expands its resources to scale the product and go‑to‑market effort. Valence builds security tooling to map and protect the "business application mesh," the network of integrations between enterprise SaaS and self-hosted applications. The company focuses on machine-to-machine connections created by APIs and automation tools like Workato or Zapier that traditional security tools often miss. Its platform scans connections to core systems to surface shadow connectivity, over-provisioned privileges, and unmanaged third-party access, and can disconnect risky integrations or automate remediation. Valence says some customers reduce their risk surface by dozens or even hundreds of applications within days of deployment. The company was founded by CEO Yoni Shohet and CTO Shlomi Matichin; Shohet previously co-founded SCADAfence. Valence raised a $7M seed round led by YL Ventures to support its growth.
