About JupiterOne
Founded in 2018 by Erkang Zheng, JupiterOne reduces the costs and complexity of cloud security by replacing the guesswork with granular data about cyber assets and configurations. Their software helps to shorten the path to security and compliance through efficient and continuous data integration and relationship modelling across all assets.
JupiterOne is a subsidiary of LifeOmic, a cloud-native healthcare software company. Erkang Zheng was the chief information security officer at LifeOmic’s, and had built JupiterOne as a support for security and compliance needs for LifeOmic’s cloud software. As a result of positive feedback on the security model, LifeOmic productized this solution as JupiterOne. Mr. Zheng has also spent 15 years as a security practitioner and leader with Fidelity, IBM, Cisco and other companies
JupiterOne’s customers include Reddit, Databricks, LifeOmic, HashiCorp, Addepar, Auth0, and OhMD.
JupiterOne provides its customers in-depth visibility for cloud posture management, risk analysis and compliance reporting, incident response, vulnerability management and threat hunting. Their solution follows a data driven approach.
“Security is a basic right for every organization, but cost and complexity are major barriers. We built JupiterOne because we saw a gap in how organizations manage the security and compliance of their cyber assets. Compliance should be a natural outcome of doing security correctly, and that starts with understanding what resources you have, how they are configured, who owns them, and how they are connected to each other,” said Erkang Zheng, CEO of JupiterOne.

- Strong Visibility of Global Asset Inventory
- Threat and Risk Reduction
- Significant Cash Savings
