Ionic Security

Ionic Security was an Atlanta, Georgia data-protection and dynamic-authorization company whose Machina platform let developers add data access, control, and protection to any application with a small amount of code. Machina provided an API-driven service layer for just-in-time enforcement of data-access policies — evaluating user, device, service, environment, and data attributes to allow or deny each request — backed by client SDKs for Java, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, Python, and JavaScript, a Machina CLI, and cloud-storage integrations for AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Storage. Ionic was venture-backed (GV, Kleiner Perkins, Ten Eleven Ventures) and was acquired by Twilio in April 2021 for roughly $30.2 million to accelerate Twilio's data-security capabilities. The company's developer domains (ionic.com, dev.ionic.com, api.ionic.com) are no longer live, but the first-party SDKs and CLI remain published on Maven Central, PyPI, and the IonicDev GitHub organization.

Ionic Security is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Security, Data Protection, and Encryption.
