Device, web, email, data, and AI agent security for the workforce delivered from one agent and console

Oxidize Labs sells against the assumption that workforce security has to be assembled from a secure web gateway, an email security product, an endpoint agent, and a separate data loss prevention tool. Its pitch is one product covering the device, the web session, the inbox, and the data an employee moves, with what the company counts as 39 capabilities behind a single agent and one console. The company positions the platform directly against Zscaler, Netskope, Cloudflare, Palo Alto Networks, Cato Networks, Fortinet, Sophos, and dope.security, and publishes a feature-by-feature comparison table rather than a general claim of parity.

Functionally the platform spans six areas. Network controls cover zero trust network access, firewall rules, and DNS filtering. Email protection scans Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for phishing and business email compromise. Endpoint components check device posture, carry detection and response controls, and extend to mobile threat defense on iOS and Android through the same client rather than a second agent. Data protection inspects content on the network path rather than only at the endpoint, though inspection of encrypted traffic is opt-in and gated per device. Identity features score risk and can revoke a session automatically. The sixth is AI agent security: detection of unsanctioned MCP servers, an egress proxy for agent traffic, governance of non-human identities, and prompt injection defense, built on the argument that AI agents now hold real access and act on their own, while the products in that comparison table were designed for human identities.

Because those signals arrive in one place, the platform can correlate activity across stages of an attack, connecting an inbound message to the site a user then visited and the file that later left the device. Enforcement is designed to work without authored policy: controls start in observation and promote to blocking only after passing a false-positive gate, reverting automatically if live blocking spikes. The relay and endpoint runtimes are written in Rust with a post-quantum handshake enabled by default. Oxidize Labs Inc. was founded in 2026, is headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and runs a team of four while raising a seed round.
