Beyond Identity

Zero Trust authentication, passwordless security

Overview

Beyond Identity provides a passwordless Zero Trust Authentication solution that replaces passwords to secure access to applications and data. It continuously authenticates users and devices, enforces security policies on every device (including BYOD), and checks posture in real time before granting access. Its approach resists phishing, Man-in-the-Middle, and MFA fatigue by eliminating reliance on passwords and requiring ongoing verification. The product integrates with existing zero-trust stacks, offers real-time analytics, and aims to help organizations meet cyber insurance and compliance requirements while reducing the risk of data breaches.
