The other half of Zero Trust

Most organizations start their Zero Trust journey with Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and user access policies. Yet every endpoint—laptops, servers, containers, and IoT devices—represents another identity that can be compromised. True Zero Trust requires securing both user and device identities.

Logos of common integrations

Integrates with your existing security stack

The Device Identity Platform™ extends your existing enterprise ecosystem. We integrate with all major mobile device management (MDM), identity provider (IdP), and device posture platforms to provide a seamless and secure user experience. These integrations augment and harden user identity and extend the reach of device posture systems by automatically revoking device credentials when a device is removed from inventory or if posture checks fail.
