Cerby wins Best Identity and Access Management Platform in The Hacker News 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards. Cerby Team Ready to see what Cerby can do for your disconnected apps? Recognition honors the company's innovation in building industry-first identity solutions that eliminate enterprise blind spots and secure disconnected applications. ALAMEDA, Calif., June 12, 2026 - Cerby, the identity automation leader making security seamless across all enterprise applications, has announced it has been named a winner in the Best Identity and Access Management Platform category in The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards. The award recognizes Cerby's continued platform innovation and its commitment to empowering organizations to eliminate identity blind spots, automate lifecycle management, and deliver superior governance outcomes. The Cybersecurity Stars Awards honor standout solutions that transform the cybersecurity landscape through innovation, proactive defense mechanisms, and measurable customer value. Cerby was recognized for its differentiated approach to extending centralized identity controls to disconnected applications, which are difficult to manage because they lack APIs and often do not support modern standards like SAML, OIDC, or SCIM. "A lot of business critical apps were never built to plug into modern identity systems, so they get managed by hand or not at all," said Belsasar Lepe, co-founder and CEO of Cerby. "Cerby was built to bring them under the same controls as your managed applications, even when they don't support identity standards like SCIM or SAML." Purpose-built for modern enterprises, Cerby integrates seamlessly with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, SailPoint, and other IGA and IDP solutions, allowing existing identity controls to reach further with no replacement required. Using an advanced connector model, in which integrations are trained rather than developed, Cerby delivers rapid time-to-value by deploying new connectors within seven to 10 days. The platform's unique self-healing capability automatically detects interface changes and repairs connectors, making comprehensive application coverage sustainable at scale.

Cerby named to Citizens 2026 Cyber 66 list of leading private cybersecurity companies. March 30, 2026 The prestigious annual report recognizes Cerby for automating identity security, extending governance and control to disconnected applications. Cerby, the fastest-growing identity security automation platform for disconnected applications, today announced its inclusion in the 2026 Cyber 66 list by Citizens, which recognizes the most innovative and high-growth privately held cybersecurity companies shaping the future of the industry. Cerby was recognized for solving one of identity security's most persistent blind spots: disconnected applications. These applications don't support modern identity standards, such as SAML and SCIM, putting them out of reach of traditional identity solutions and leaving access management to manual processes that are inconsistent and error-prone. Cerby extends the identity controls and policies organizations already have in place to the applications those tools can't reach, and automates what would otherwise be done by hand. The result: fewer security gaps and consistent access policies across every application. "Our inclusion in the Cyber 66 report is a strong validation of the problem we are solving and the impact our customers are seeing," said Belsasar Lepe, CEO and co-founder of Cerby. "As organizations adopt more SaaS applications and begin to scale AI-driven workflows, identity becomes the foundation of security. However, many of these applications fall outside traditional identity systems. Cerby was built to bring those applications under control, enabling organizations to extend identity governance to previously unmanaged applications and reduce operational risk at scale." Strong demand for Cerby's identity security automation platform has fueled rapid growth and enterprise adoption. This recognition comes at a time when enterprises are rapidly expanding their use of SaaS and AI technologies, increasing the number of identities, applications, and access points that security teams must manage. An emerging leader in identity security automation, Cerby helps organizations: * Extend identity and access management (IAM) controls from existing identity solutions to non-standard and disconnected applications * Automate provisioning, deprovisioning, and other traditionally manual, error-prone access governance workflows * Centralize credential management for disconnected apps, including securing privileged and shared accounts * Enforce consistent security policies across all applications, including those that fall outside the reach of traditional identity tools Now in its 12th year, the annual Cyber 66 report highlights companies at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation across identity, AI security, data protection, and security operation. This year's report underscores the growing importance of securing agentic AI and defending against increasingly sophisticated AI-driven threats, while reinforcing identity as a foundational control plane for enterprise security. Cerby's inclusion highlights its leadership in addressing this shift. By extending identity security to disconnected applications, Cerby delivers visibility, control, and automation across a critical but historically overlooked layer of enterprise applications.
