What is Cerby?
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Alameda, California, Cerby addresses a critical vulnerability in enterprise security by providing identity and access management (IAM) solutions for applications that do not natively support standard protocols like SAML or SCIM. These legacy or specialized applications often represent a significant security risk due to their inability to integrate with modern IAM systems. Cerby's platform automates and secures access to these "unmanageable" applications, thereby enhancing an organization's overall security posture and compliance efforts. The company's focus on this niche yet vital area of cybersecurity positions it as a key player in the evolving IAM landscape.
