Giving mission-critical teams clear insight into their networks.

Modern networks are too important to rely on guesswork. Pylon exists to align what’s intended, what exists, and what’s approved so organizations can make secure, compliant, and operationally sound decisions.

Our story

How Pylon Grew from an Observation into a New Category

Pylon began as a simple observation: the systems protecting our most critical infrastructure deserved better tooling.

In 2011, Jesse and Jason founded Beacon Cloud Solutions after spending years inside federal cybersecurity programs. They saw an opportunity to modernize network compliance and change authorization, processes that were still largely manual and slow to keep pace with the environments they protected.

What started as two cybersecurity professionals building better workflows grew into a fourteen-year journey of designing, testing, and ultimately creating a new category of software: Continuous Insight.

A Proposal That Changes Everything
