Single sign on that’s twice as easy and twice as secure vs traditional tools
Go beyond the vulnerabilities, bottlenecks and blindspots of traditional single sign on (SSO) solutions with a purpose built secure access solution for modern teams and today's risks.
Eliminate access risks with a secure SSO solution that’s passwordless, phishing-resistant, continuous, and backed by our patented “Twin-Auth” technology.
Simplify configuring and consistently enforcing security policies with an always-on and secure approach that enables users with instant access to the right system and data.
Enhance visibility and instantly identify vulnerable authentication paths, indicators of compromise, device misconfigurations and other risks across your ecosystem.
Use Beyond Identity on its own, or connect it to your SSO or IDP to streamline decision-making, push audit logs, and other forensic evidence to third party tools to enrich your stack.
to Traditional SSO Tools
Beyond Identity
A secure-by-design, easy-to-use SSO that offers continuous authentication for both users and devices, fine-grained risk policies, seamless security tool integrations, and is fully passwordless and phishing-resistant.
Traditional MFA
Legacy IT solutions designed to provide access to data and systems vs secure gateways. Often based on single-point-in-time authorization that primarily focuses on users only (not devices), using methods that can be susceptible to phishing, such as passwords and tokens.
Beyond Identity
Provides users with instant access to the right systems and data with an authentication process that can be completed without passwords and without additional devices.
Traditional MFA
Frequently requires additional steps, additional devices, and a reliance on human memory for password entry.
posture
Beyond Identity
Can be used as a standalone secure access platform or connected to a third-party SSO/IAM as a fortification solution.
Traditional MFA
Most require additional security solutions (like Beyond Identity itself) to offset their innate risks.
Beyond Identity
Uses patented “Twin-Auth” technology to continuously validate both user and device identities, as separate but equally-critical components necessary for authentication.
Traditional MFA
Often only validates user identity, neglecting device security.
resistance
Beyond Identity
Only ever uses phishing resistant factors to authenticate, including biometric checks and hardware-protected keys.
Traditional MFA
Commonly relies on factors susceptible to phishing (SMS, OTP, Push).
assurance
Beyond Identity
Continuous checks ensure devices meet security standards, keeping your network safe.
Traditional MFA
Infrequent monitoring may not catch vulnerabilities until after they've been exploited.
privileges
Beyond Identity
Default configuration provides users with just-in-time, privileged access to applications and systems to complete a specific task, after which access is automatically revoked; all controls managed on the back-end with no disruption to the user experience.
Traditional MFA
By default, after initial authorization, users are given perpetual permissions to privileged applications and system, increasing security risks.
controls
Beyond Identity
Leverage native and third-party risk signals to make continuous authentication decisions, with the ability to revoke access immediately and disconnect high-risk users, even during active sessions.
Traditional MFA
Limited visibility into real-time user and device risk plus lack of continuous verification makes it impossible to enforce risk-based revocation on a just-in-time basis.
enrichment
Beyond Identity
Visualizes data from dozens of third-party tools within its platform UI to streamline policy decision-making, and pushes authentication and other forensic data to enrich other tools in your stack.
Traditional MFA
Limited tool integrations and poor visualization capabilities yield a fragmented and inefficient defense system.
mitigation
Beyond Identity
Prevents unauthorized users and devices from connecting to critical communication systems, and visually certifies participant authenticity for end-user audiences with a verification badge display.
Traditional MFA
Can authorize communication tool connections for authenticated users, but cannot visually certify authenticity of call participants.
management
Beyond Identity
A secure-by-design approach that automatically synchronizes with all of your existing directories and sources for seamless joiner/mover/leaver operations.
Traditional MFA
Bolt-on identity governance solutions make navigating user changes a complex task requiring new workflows and training.
Beyond Identity
Continuously monitors managed and unmanaged devices and user activity at work in your ecosystem to identify misconfiguration issues and other vulnerabilities.
Traditional MFA
Limited visibility to unmanaged devices, if supported at all.
