Greymatter

What Greymatter is

Greymatter is a Zero Trust Networking platform for controlling, connecting, and securing applications, APIs, and AI workloads. Its five layers cover analytics, zero trust, service connectivity, orchestration, and enterprise integration. Deployment environments include AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, sovereign clouds, Kubernetes distributions, virtual machines, edge, and disconnected settings. The platform automates workload identity provisioning, applies mTLS, and uses NIST-validated FIPS 140-3 cryptography, CMVP #5191. GitOps Playbooks manage traffic policies across clusters, with autonomous updates and zero-downtime changes. Deployment strategies include canary, blue-green, and progressive delivery, with health checks, fallback logic, and rollback on failure. Analytics integrations include Grafana, Kibana, Prometheus, Splunk, Elasticsearch, SIEMs, and APMs; identity integrations use OAuth2, OIDC, and PKI, with providers including Keycloak, Ping Federate, Okta, and Auth0. Activity is linked to detailed audit logs, and playbooks are versioned, traceable, and reversible. Enterprise support includes patching, upgrades, and operational assistance. Greymatter offers a 30-day trial at no cost; custom enterprise pricing is available on request. The company was established in 2015 near Washington, D.C., and is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
