Beyond Identity

Beyond Identity's mission is to empower the next generation of secure digital business by replacing passwords with fundamentally secure X.509-based certificates. This patent-pending approach creates an extended Chain of Trust that includes user and device identity and a real-time snapshot of the device’s security posture for adaptive risk-based authentication and authorization. Beyond Identity’s cloud-native solution enables customers to increase business velocity, implement new business models, reduce operating costs, and achieve complete passwordless identity management.

Beyond Identity provides passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions that eliminate passwords to prevent credential-based breaches and cyberattacks. The company's platform uses X.509-based certificates and public/private key technology to cryptographically bind a user's identity to their devices. The solution enables phishing-resistant authentication by replacing traditional password-based systems with a combination of two factors - a certificate stored in the device's security hardware and biometric authentication or PIN. Beyond Identity's technology validates device trust relationships and continuously assesses device security posture by checking over 70 different contextual factors including firewall status, disk encryption, patch levels, and security software status. In February 2024, the company launched Device360, a new solution that provides visibility into security risks across both managed and unmanaged devices. The platform integrates with major single sign-on providers and security tools to enable organizations to enforce security policies and stop risky devices from accessing corporate resources.
