Enterprise AI adoption has made identity the fastest-growing attack surface — and the hardest to govern. Josys discovers, governs, and secures every identity - human, machine, and AI agent - across every application in the enterprise. Built on policy-led governance, Josys lets security and IT teams define access policies once and enforce them autonomously: risk is surfaced, access is controlled, and identity threats are remediated in real time, without manual oversight. Trusted by over 1,000 organizations and MSPs worldwide, Josys turns identity from the fastest-growing attack surface into an autonomously governed advantage.

Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™. Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control. Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO. 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,082 Ratings Visit Website for Auth0 ManageEngine ADManager Plus ADManager Plus is a simple, easy-to-use Windows Active Directory (AD) management and reporting solution that helps AD administrators and help desk technicians in their day-to-day activities.

About Activate IAM is an Enterprise Identity Operations platform that automates identity approvals, provisioning, fulfilment and lifecycle changes across Microsoft Entra, Active Directory, ServiceNow and enterprise applications. Activate coordinates the operational work triggered by identity changes, including joiner, mover and leaver (JML) processes, business and IT approvals, provisioning, deprovisioning and fulfilment across multiple systems. Designed to work alongside existing identity platforms, Activate helps execute identity and access decisions through automated workflows across systems and stakeholders. It supports complex and hybrid enterprise environments where identity processes extend beyond account creation, as well as the operational lifecycle of non-human identities, including service accounts, bots and AI agents.	About LinuxGuard is complete Linux identity security: every user, key and sudo rule on your Linux estate, mapped, managed and enforced. Years of sudo rules, SSH keys and service accounts build paths to root that SIEM, EDR and cloud IAM never see. AI agents now find and use those paths faster than any review. LinuxGuard maps every identity on every host (people, service accounts and AI agents), scores the risk and flags every change as it happens. Then it controls access. People sign in with their directory identity. Access is time-boxed, approved where required and closed by the server itself. sudo comes from central profiles given to directory groups. Leavers lose access on every server within minutes. AI agents get their own identity and short, approved windows, never standing access. One lightweight agent, outbound-only connections, nothing in front of ssh. Compliance evidence for NIS2, DORA, SOC 2 and ISO 27001, exported from a live inventory. Built for Linux by IAM practitioner
