What is Clutch?
Clutch operates as the industry’s first Universal Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security Platform, specifically engineered for the enterprise landscape.

By offering comprehensive visibility, lifecycle management, and real-time detection, Clutch enables organizations to enforce a proactive Zero Trust security posture. Its platform is designed to integrate seamlessly across diverse environments, ensuring that every non-human entity is governed, monitored, and secured against unauthorized access or exploitation.
