Most teams are spending more than ever on the identity tools alphabet soup — yet still can’t answer the most basic access questions. The stack has become bloated, fragmented and expensive to run.
Each one manages the same identities in slightly different ways, with overlapping permissions, disconnected logs and conflicting enforcement logic.
Security teams are juggling four or more tools just to provision users, review access, rotate secrets and respond to audits. Meanwhile, critical decisions — like whether an engineer can access production, or a service account can hit a sensitive API — are still being made manually, inconsistently, or not at all.
This doesn’t just slow you down — it introduces risk at every layer of your stack.
But many identity stacks still rely on static, perimeter-era assumptions:
Long-lived access. Static roles. Periodic reviews. Occasional audits.
What modern cloud environments demand is real-time, risk-aware access — for every user and system, across every layer of the stack.
When access doesn’t adapt, attackers don’t need to break in. They just log in.
Most legacy tools weren’t designed for how access actually works in the cloud.
Roles are too broad. Reviews are manual. Remediation takes weeks. Secrets get created, but not rotated. Machine identities live forever — unmanaged and unmonitored. Even the most mature organizations are struggling with brittle IAM configurations, tool bloat and a long tail of shadow access no one owns.
Investment in identity tools adds up — and eventually, it compounds into exposure.
Your vault might be full of credentials — but are they still active? Are they scoped? Do they expire?
Most privileged access today still exists as standing access — issued once, kept forever and reused across teams, services and environments.
PAM tools are still focused on session monitoring and credential brokering — not dynamic permissioning or automation.
Credentials may be vaulted. But that doesn’t mean they’re safe.
Bots. Services. Pipelines. Containers. Microservices.
Today, non-human identities generate the majority of cloud access — and most of them are unmanaged.
Service accounts with admin access. OAuth tokens with no owner. Secrets hardcoded in CI scripts. And almost none of it is covered by traditional IAM, PAM, or IGA tooling.
Machines don’t file tickets — but they still hold keys to your infrastructure.
Cloud changes everything—including how you secure identities. Legacy tools were built for simpler times and simpler stacks. Trying to solve modern identity challenges by stacking yet another tool onto outdated foundations won't reduce risk—it just creates complexity and blind spots.
What you need isn't another layer; it's a fundamentally different approach: identity governance that’s embedded in your stack, not bolted onto it.
Consolidation reduces cost, eliminates overlapping functionality and improves security by centralizing policies, logs and access controls in a single platform.
Identity technical debt refers to outdated, fragmented IAM configurations and tools that increase risk, slow response times and create compliance headaches.
We believe legacy PAM, CIEM, IAM and IGA tools—built for on-prem systems and human users, not multi-cloud pipelines—are converging. The future belongs to a next-gen PAM: a cloud-native identity platform that delivers better visibility, reduces risk, simplifies orchestration and makes identity governance possible across all cloud environments.
