Unixi · Agentic Remediation and Universal Access Control for Every App
Best Identity and Access Governance Platform
Overview
Unixi is a cybersecurity firm providing universal identity and access control for every application, specifically targeting the "Identity Arsenal Gap" where traditional SSO fails to cover 50%–85% of enterprise apps. By utilizing patented KDA and SWIM technologies, the platform secures the widely used but rarely governed applications that fall outside the reach of standard SAML and SCIM protocols. The Unixi Platform leverages a patented crypto extension to eliminate password-based credentials, directly mitigating the stolen credential theft responsible for 82% of undetectable breaches. Beyond authentication, the solution provides agentic remediation and automated lifecycle management to eliminate the risk of "residual accounts" left behind by former employees. This comprehensive approach allows organizations to expose hidden liabilities and regain granular control over their entire SaaS landscape. Ultimately, Unixi serves as a proactive defense that enables enterprises to secure their most vulnerable access paths before a breach occurs.
Key Capabilities
Universal Identity and Access Control: Provides secure access and management for every application, including those that do not support traditional SSO standards like SAML or SCIM.
Comprehensive SaaS Discovery: Automatically identifies "Shadow SaaS," shared accounts, and residual access to expose hidden organizational liabilities.
Patented Authentication Technology: Utilizes proprietary KDA and SWIM protocols alongside a patented crypto extension to eliminate password-based credentials and mitigate theft.
Agentic Remediation: Features a centralized Control Console that allows for proactive analysis and automated fixing of discovered security risks.
Full Lifecycle Management: Streamlines the entire employee journey through seamless user onboarding and automated offboarding to prevent residual account risks.
Advanced Risk Analysis: Evaluates security posture by monitoring password hygiene, MFA coverage, and SAML bypass vulnerabilities.
Granular Permission Management: Enables role-based access governance, ensuring that only authorized users have specific permissions to sensitive data.
How we are different
Unixi distinguishes itself from traditional cybersecurity solutions by addressing the "Identity Arsenal Gap," where current tools fail to secure a significant portion of the enterprise landscape. While traditional Single Sign-On (SSO) and password managers provide partial control or mere convenience, they often leave 50%–85% of applications in an uncontrolled state.
Unixi stands apart through the following differentiators:
- Proprietary Protocols Beyond SAML/SCIM: Unixi utilizes patented KDA and SWIM technologies to provide identity and access control where standard protocols like SAML and SCIM fail.
- Universal Coverage: Unlike traditional SSO that offers only 20%–50% coverage, Unixi provides universal control for every app, regardless of its native support for identity standards.
- Patented Crypto Extension: The platform uses a patented browser extension (supporting Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari) to provide a secure, passwordless authentication layer for any application.
- Agentic Remediation: Beyond mere visibility, Unixi offers Agentic Remediation via a centralized Control Console, allowing for automated fixing of security risks rather than just reporting them.
- Shadow SaaS Discovery: The platform includes comprehensive discovery capabilities to identify "Shadow SaaS," shared accounts, and residual access that traditional governance tools miss.
- Prevention of Undetectable Breaches: By eliminating password-based credentials, Unixi directly targets the 82% of breaches that use valid credentials and authorized pathways, making them otherwise undetectable to standard security stacks.
