Ionic Security

Ionic Security was an Atlanta, Georgia data-protection and dynamic-authorization company whose Machina platform let developers add data access, control, and protection to any application with a small amount of code. Machina provided an API-driven service layer for just-in-time enforcement of data-access policies — evaluating user, device, service, environment, and data attributes to allow or deny each request — backed by client SDKs for Java, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, Python, and JavaScript, a Machina CLI, and cloud-storage integrations for AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Storage. Ionic was venture-backed (GV, Kleiner Perkins, Ten Eleven Ventures) and was acquired by Twilio in April 2021 for roughly $30.2 million to accelerate Twilio's data-security capabilities. The company's developer domains (ionic.com, dev.ionic.com, api.ionic.com) are no longer live, but the first-party SDKs and CLI remain published on Maven Central, PyPI, and the IonicDev GitHub organization.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Ionic Security is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Ionic Security scores 10.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Resources

Every other property we hold for Ionic Security — documentation, portals, status pages, policies, and corporate surface — grouped by the job it does, following the integrator's arc from getting started to running in production.

Ionic Security is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
