CodeZero Technologies Inc

Codezero Technologies Inc, operating at codezero.io, develops Cordon, which it positions as a "credential containment layer" for software development and AI agent environments. The premise stated on the company's site is that possession of a credential is itself the vulnerability: between the systems that manage secrets (vaults, secrets managers) and the systems that consume them, credentials are exposed through software paths such as AI agents chaining tool calls, prompt-injection exfiltration, malicious npm or PyPI packages, browser and IDE extensions, third-party SaaS connectors, and infostealer malware, as well as through disk, memory and log surfaces and through humans. Cordon is presented as an additive layer alongside existing vaults and secrets managers (1Password, AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault), identity providers (Okta, Auth0, Entra ID), policy engines (Open Policy Agent, Cedar, Styra) and scanning or runtime monitoring tools (GitGuardian, CrowdStrike, Wiz), rather than a replacement for them.

Technically, Cordon runs as a local gateway/proxy that intercepts outbound requests and injects credentials in transit, so that runtimes, agents and tools never hold the secret. The company states there is no SDK to import and no application code to rewrite, and it ships packaged integrations for Claude Code, Codex and Hermes enabled by a single CLI command (for example, `cordon integration enable claude-code`), which detects secret providers such as 1Password and the system keychain, installs a trusted CA, configures the target tool and starts a local proxy. Stated coverage spans AI agents and agentic IDEs, frameworks, MCP and CLI tools and agent orchestrators; developer laptops; automations such as CI/CD and data pipelines; and application runtimes including services, functions, containers and edge. The company says Cordon mitigates the top five of the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications.

An earlier line of Codezero work centered on developer environments for microservices: the company's public GitHub organization (c6o) hosts components such as a Node.js HTTP agent for connecting to "Codezero Teamspaces," a Codezero Zero Trust extension for Netlify, a Rancher extension, Helm charts and a Homebrew tap. A 2024 funding-round profile describes Codezero Teamspaces as an integrated, localized environment for dev/test and team collaboration across deployment platforms, with built-in authentication intended to remove the need for passwords and shared secrets so developers reach only the assets and services they need.

Founding story

A funding-round profile identifies Reed Clayton, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, as founder, describing a background in enterprise technology sales, partnerships and startup leadership.

Business model

Codezero sells software in three packaged tiers around the same interception technology: a free Developer Edition for an individual machine, a Teams edition for shared runtimes offering a shared control plane with bring-your-own IdP, vault and policy engine, and an Enterprise edition covering all outbound company requests with self-hosted, air-gapped or on-prem deployment, SOC-ready identity-aware audit trails, SLAs and priority support. Its terms of service describe account registration, fees published on a pricing page or set in an order form, monthly usage-based billing via a third-party payment processor with pro-rated cancellations, and per-account invoicing listing each purchased app.

Paid subscriptions to Codezero's software: fees are as displayed on the pricing page or defined in an order form, with monthly users charged by credit card within seven days after each month for the prior month's app usage, and enterprise customers on negotiated contract pricing. The Developer Edition is offered free.

Traction

The Developer Edition is generally available and free, installable via a single command and without an account. The Teams edition is in development and the company is recruiting design partners, and the Enterprise edition is in development and offered through direct conversations. The company's public GitHub organization lists 23 repositories, with activity on Codezero integrations recorded into 2025 and early 2026.

Latest developments

Cordon's Developer Edition is available for installation, with batteries-included integrations for Claude Code, Codex and Hermes, and the company states Cordon mitigates the top five of the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications. The Teams edition is in development with design partners wanted, and the Enterprise edition is in development, designed for self-hosted, air-gapped or on-prem deployment with identity-aware audit trails.
