Twosense, Inc.

What Twosense, Inc. does

Twosense, Inc. is a New York-based private company that develops an AI-driven continuous authentication platform for enterprise environments, with a primary commercial focus on hospital and health system customers and an expanding footprint in financial services, contact centers, and critical infrastructure. The company's core technology analyzes behavioral signals — keystroke cadence, mouse movements, and typing rhythm — through a lightweight software agent installed on endpoints, generating a passive biometric trust score for the active user every second. Continuous Access Evaluation Profile (CAEP) signaling communicates trust levels to connected applications in real time, and a policy-driven orchestration engine automatically triggers re-authentication, step-up challenges, or session termination when behavior deviates from the user's established profile. The platform integrates with existing identity infrastructure (notably Okta) rather than replacing it, and operates without hardware tokens, phones, or cameras.

Twosense monetizes through a SaaS subscription model with quote-based enterprise pricing tied to the number of protected users and applications, billed annually. Its go-to-market is a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting CISOs, CIOs, and IT security leadership, structured around a 3-60-90 deployment framework (3 applications, 60 users, 90 days) that enables proof-of-concept validation before organization-wide scaling. The company has documented large-scale production validation at a Top 5 U.S. Health System covering 17,000+ users across 170+ applications, with reported outcome metrics including 89% reduction in failed clinical logins and 79% reduction in identity-related help desk tickets. Marketing is content-driven, anchored by an active blog, white papers, case studies, and healthcare conference presence (notably ViVE 2026).

The company is venture-backed, having raised approximately $6.65M in total disclosed funding across a 2017 seed ($1.23M, Boro Capital / ERA), a 2018 U.S. Department of Defense award ($2.42M), and a 2021 seed round ($3M, co-led by Atypical Ventures and Preface Ventures). The company is led by co-founders Dawud Gordon, Ph.D. (CEO) and John Tanios (CTO), with Stephen Singam serving as CISO. The team is reported at 1-10 employees, AWS hosts its production infrastructure, and SOC 2 Type II compliance has been achieved. No parent company, acquisition, or public listing is disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Software Subscription (SaaS): Twosense operates as a SaaS subscription model, providing continuous authentication software as a service. The platform is deployed as a software-only agent on endpoints and integrates with existing IAM/SSO infrastructure. Pricing is quote-based and determined by the number of users and applications protected. The 3-60-90 deployment framework enables land-and-expand dynamics as organizations validate the solution and scale across additional applications and user groups.

Core offering

Twosense provides an AI-driven Continuous Authentication Platform that passively verifies user identity throughout entire sessions using behavioral biometrics such as keystroke cadence, mouse movement, and typing rhythm. The software-only agent runs on endpoints, integrates with existing IAM/SSO infrastructure, and replaces point-in-time passwords and tokens with continuous trust scoring for healthcare, financial services, and contact center environments.

Product overview

Twosense offers a unified Continuous Authentication Platform that combines behavioral biometrics, real-time access evaluation, and automated policy orchestration into a single software-only solution. The core platform provides continuous identity verification using keystroke dynamics and mouse movement analysis, with a CAEP-based signaling system that communicates trust scores to enterprise applications. The Policy-Driven Orchestration Engine automates remediation actions, while the 3-60-90 Deployment Framework provides a structured path for hospital deployments. The platform is designed specifically for healthcare and financial services environments, enabling passwordless workflows on shared workstations without requiring hardware tokens, phones, or cameras.

Broad incumbents

• Okta: Okta is the leading cloud identity platform with MFA, passwordless, and adaptive risk-based authentication. Twosense integrates with Okta today, but Okta's continued investment in adaptive/continuous authentication makes it both a partner and a potential long-term competitor.
• Microsoft Entra ID: Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) provides identity and access management with MFA, passwordless, and conditional access at massive enterprise scale. It represents the largest incumbent risk to standalone vendors like Twosense given its bundling power and existing hospital/healthcare penetration.
• BehavioSec (LexisNexis Risk Solutions): BehavioSec, now part of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, is a pioneer in behavioral biometrics for continuous authentication. It overlaps directly with Twosense's technology and now benefits from LexisNexis's enterprise distribution and fraud data assets.

Direct peers

• Beyond Identity: Beyond Identity offers passwordless and continuous authentication using device-bound credentials and risk signals. It competes with Twosense in the same passwordless MFA category, serving enterprises seeking to eliminate passwords.
• Plurilock: Plurilock provides continuous authentication using behavioral biometrics, with strong positioning in critical infrastructure and government. It directly competes with Twosense on the post-login continuous verification thesis and shares a similar customer profile.
• Nok Nok Labs: Nok Nok Labs delivers passwordless and strong authentication based on FIDO standards, with continuous risk evaluation capabilities. It competes with Twosense in passwordless MFA for enterprises, particularly in financial services.
• Transmit Security: Transmit Security provides identity and authentication orchestration including passwordless and continuous risk-based authentication. It competes with Twosense in the passwordless/continuous authentication category for enterprise customers.
• HYPR: HYPR provides passwordless and continuous authentication using behavioral biometrics and device-based cryptography. It directly competes with Twosense in healthcare and financial services, targeting the same CISO buyer with similar invisible-authentication value propositions.
• BioCatch: BioCatch is a leading behavioral biometrics vendor analyzing user interactions (typing, swiping, scrolling) to detect fraud and verify identity. It overlaps directly with Twosense on behavioral biometric profiling, with a heavier emphasis on fraud and a longer enterprise footprint.

Emerging players

• TypingDNA: TypingDNA focuses on keystroke dynamics-based behavioral biometrics for continuous authentication and fraud detection. It overlaps with Twosense on core typing-cadence analysis but operates at a smaller scale and broader geographic footprint.
