Introducing Idaptive’s Next-Gen Access Cloud for Modern Business
Last October, we introduced Idaptive to the world, a new company built to handle the demands of modern businesses. Today, we’re rolling back the curtains to show the world what we can do. Say hello to Idaptive’s Next-Gen Access Cloud, our identity and access management platform designed to help organizations navigate the complexities of modern identity and offer secure access everywhere.
The Next-Gen Access Cloud is the first of its kind, combining single single-on (SSO), adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA), endpoint & mobile context, and user behavior analytics (UBA). This comprehensive zero trust approach to identity adds a layer of intelligence which helps companies verify and validate users, devices, and services while continuously learning from, and adapting to, millions of risk factors.
In today’s business world, this matters. Everything we do, whether it’s at home or at work, happens online – buying things, checking our bank accounts, paying bills, logging on to an app at work, or sharing information with colleagues. These interactions depend entirely on our identity. We can only check our bank accounts if we enter the right credentials (or have the right fingerprint), just as we can only access the CRM or download a sensitive file at work after we prove that we are who we say we are.
As identity becomes central to everything we do online, it also grows much more complex. Most of us use two or three (or more!) devices over the course of a day, and log into apps and services wherever we go, creating an almost infinite and constantly changing amount of gateways where identity and access need to be verified. Ten years ago, we logged into our work apps and portals from our desktop at work, perhaps occasionally using a VPN to connect from home. Today, we do this from our phones in line at lunch, from a tablet at a coffee shop or from our laptops 30,000 feet in the air.
Companies need a way to make sense of the increasing complexities of identity and access; verifying users and devices without creating headaches for employees and customers and maintaining flexibility for their IT departments. That’s where we come in.
From the moment it’s deployed, the Next-Gen Access Cloud continuously analyzes and learns from millions of risk factors and data points associated with people, devices, and services to enhance security postures and improve user experiences. Our platform verifies every user, validates their devices using access context, and intelligently limits their access based on things like location, when they typically access, and what apps and services they’re using.
With Idaptive, companies know their sensitive information is secure, and users can access the apps and services they need with less friction and frustration. Other features of the Next-Gen Access Cloud include:
-
Converting raw access data into actionable intelligence by constantly learning from millions of daily logins and access attempts
-
Scoring user access risk across Idaptive’s global dataset to help prevent breaches
-
Automatically creating individual user profiles based on login context and risk
-
Reducing burden on IT by eliminating the need to manually define and manage complex rules and policies
-
Increasing security at scale and minimizing the threat of bad actors via continuous learning
-
Accommodating for the almost infinite diversity of applications, services and data located on-premises, on devices, and in the cloud
As 81% of breaches result from compromised user access, identity and access is the single most important area for security investment. And as identity becomes more complex for users, applications and things, our platform will continue to evolve, draw in more context, and use sophisticated adaptive capabilities to ensure frictionless security at scale.
This is only the beginning for us and we’d love for your company or organization to join the thousands of others using Idaptive to secure their identity and access.

CHAMELEON-LIKE SUPERPOWER
If Danny could have any chameleon-like superpower, it would be the chameleon's 360-degree vision. In the wild, the chameleon is faced with opportunities (a yummy grasshopper hanging about), as well as dangers (a snake lurking nearby, or a hawk flying up above), so having 360- degree vision helps the chameleon evolve while protecting it from predators. “Similarly, to run a successful business, one needs to have a wide perspective of the market, technology, opportunities and challenges.”
