Axiom is the modern answer to Privileged Access Management

Axiom Security was founded on a simple but urgent belief:

Access should be secure by default, without slowing down the business.

Legacy Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems weren’t built for the cloud era. They’re complex, slow to deploy, and blind to the dynamic nature of modern infrastructure. At Axiom, we’re changing that.

Founders - Yarin Taranos

Founded by longtime colleagues Itay Mesika and Ilan Dardik, Axiom is the product of over two decades of combined leadership in Development, Security, and Operations. Their shared vision, shaped by experience at startups and global enterprises alike, was to build a platform rooted in cloud-native architecture and security-by-design principles.

After validating the market with dozens of forward-thinking organizations, they launched Axiom to modernize access from the ground up.
