Defakto (formerly SPIRL) is a non-human identity (NHI) security company that issues short-lived, cryptographically attested identities to workloads, services, CI/CD pipelines and AI agents in place of static secrets, API keys and long-lived service accounts. The platform is built on SPIFFE and ships two products: Mint, which runs Trust Domain Servers and Agents that mint X.509-SVIDs, JWT-SVIDs and proof-of-possession WIT-SVIDs for Kubernetes, Linux, Docker and serverless workloads under a dozen attestation methods; and Ledger, which discovers, risk-scores and eradicates static secrets across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock AgentCore and Gemini. The control plane is driven by a gRPC management API and the spirlctl CLI, with a Go SDK, an OpenTofu/Terraform provider, workload identity federation into AWS/Azure/GCP, and OCSF 1.8.0 audit logging.
