Aporeto

Aporeto was a zero trust cloud security company providing machine identity-based microsegmentation, a distributed firewall, and Kubernetes network security for hybrid and multi-cloud application workloads. Backed by DCVC and Wing Venture Capital, Aporeto was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in December 2019 (~$150M) and its identity-based microsegmentation platform was folded into Prisma Cloud. The company no longer operates an independent product, brand, or developer surface; aporeto.com now redirects to Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Cloud. This profile is retained as a network record of the acquired company; no standalone API, developer portal, or specification surface exists to enrich.

Aporeto is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Zero Trust, Microsegmentation, and Cloud Security.
