Riptides provides identity, access control, and audit trails for AI agents and traditional workloads, enforcing security at the Linux kernel level so workloads receive short-lived, just-in-time credentials instead of holding long-lived API keys. It targets security and platform teams and integrates with existing secret stores, cloud IAM, and observability tools via SPIFFE, Kubernetes metadata, and federation with AWS and GCP.
