About Cerby

Cerby

Identity security automationAlameda, CA, US

Cerby is an identity security automation platform for disconnected applications, the apps that lack SSO, SCIM, or API support and fall outside traditional identity tools. Cerby extends and completes the existing IAM, IGA, and PAM stack, applying deterministic, auditable automation to provisioning, deprovisioning, credential management, and access reviews. It extends identity governance to the applications those tools cannot reach, eliminating manual effort and reducing compliance risk at scale.
