Why we are building Keygraph

Before Keygraph, I led engineering for the HRIS and Payroll divisions at Lattice. We handled some of the most sensitive data a company can have: employee salaries, social security numbers, banking information. Security wasn't a side concern; it was the concern.

And yet, keeping that data secure meant managing 14 disconnected tools. My team spent more time wrangling integrations, triaging duplicate alerts, and maintaining security plumbing than we did on the actual security decisions that mattered. It was clear that the problem wasn't a lack of tools; it was the absence of a system that could think across all of them.

That experience is why Keygraph exists. We wanted to build the thing I wished I'd had at Lattice: a system that understands your environment holistically and makes real security decisions with full context. We started by building products across identity, device management, and compliance. That work gave us a deep understanding of the security landscape, but we converged on AppSec because it's where the pain is sharpest and the technology is ready.

Today, Shannon is doing work that would have saved me hundreds of hours at Lattice. That's the bet. That's what we're building.
