What Cerby does

Cerby is an identity security automation company founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco. The company targets the "last mile" of enterprise identity management — the 40–60% of business applications that lack native support for SAML, SCIM, or OIDC and therefore cannot be governed by standard SSO, IGA, or PAM tools from incumbents such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity, SailPoint, and Saviynt. Its core product is a patent-pending access orchestration engine that combines agentic AI with robotic process automation and application APIs to create programmatic control points on applications that do not expose identity protocols, enabling automated provisioning, deprovisioning, credential rotation, 2FA enrollment, and just-in-time privileged access without requiring application-side changes.

The platform is delivered as four solution modules — Credential Management & SSO, Identity Lifecycle Automations, Privileged Access Automations, and Enterprise Social Media Security — packaged with an extensive application catalog and SIEM integrations (Datadog, Splunk). Cerby sells via a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting security and IT leaders at large organizations, complemented by partner co-sell through Okta, SailPoint, and Deloitte. Pricing is subscription-based, quoted via Order Forms, with Standard and Enterprise support tiers and annual billing; professional services are sold separately. The company has raised $54 million across seed, Series A/B rounds (Series B led by DTCP), with strategic capital from Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Two Sigma Ventures, Deloitte Ventures, and Valor Equity Partners. Named customers include monday.com, Colgate-Palmolive, Fox, L'Oréal, ClickUp, Productiv, Mattel, Ford, and Better Help, with documented outcomes such as monday.com expanding identity coverage from 20% to 78% and saving 3,300 IT hours annually.

Core offering

Cerby provides an identity automation platform that secures and manages access for enterprise applications lacking native SAML, OIDC, or SCIM support. The platform combines a patent-pending access orchestration engine with an extensive application catalog to automate credential management, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, identity lifecycle workflows, privileged access, and social media account security. It integrates with existing identity stacks from Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity, SailPoint, Saviynt, and Veza.

Product overview

Cerby is an identity security automation platform that operates as a unified solution with a modular architecture. The core platform consists of an access orchestration engine and an extensive application catalog, which together enable security automation across disconnected applications. The platform includes four primary solution modules: Credential Management & SSO (for automating password management and enabling SSO/MFA on apps without SAML/OIDC), Identity Lifecycle Automations (for automated provisioning/deprovisioning without SCIM), Privileged Access Automations (extending PAM to disconnected apps with just-in-time access), and Enterprise Social Media Security (for securing brand social media accounts). These modules work together to provide complete identity coverage for the 40-60% of enterprise applications that traditional IAM, IGA, and PAM tools cannot reach.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves5 records

Emerging players

• JumpCloud: JumpCloud is a cloud directory platform offering SSO, MFA, and device management for SMEs and mid-market. Comparable as an identity management alternative, though Cerby targets the enterprise segment with disconnected-app focus.
• Beyond Identity: Beyond Identity is a passwordless and MFA identity platform. Comparable as an emerging identity security player targeting modern authentication, intersecting with Cerby's MFA-enforcement use case on disconnected apps.
• Veza: Veza is an access governance platform focused on authorization and identity data. Cerby integrates with Veza to extend governance to disconnected applications, positioning them as complementary peers in identity security.
• Saviynt: Saviynt is a cloud-native identity governance and privileged access management platform. Cerby is a named integration partner extending Saviynt's IGA capabilities to disconnected apps, making them functionally adjacent peers.

Direct peers

• OneLogin: OneLogin provides SSO, identity, and access management for enterprises. Directly comparable as an SSO/identity provider, though Cerby's wedge is the disconnected-app long tail rather than primary SSO.
• CyberArk: CyberArk is the leading privileged access management (PAM) vendor. Cerby's Privileged Access Automations module directly competes with CyberArk for PAM coverage on SaaS and disconnected applications.
• Ping Identity: Ping Identity provides enterprise SSO, federation, and identity management. Cerby natively integrates with Ping to extend identity coverage to non-SAML/SCIM applications, making them directly comparable in federation scope.
• SailPoint: SailPoint is a leading identity governance and administration (IGA) platform. Cerby is an initial technology partner in SailPoint's Unified Platform Access initiative, directly extending SailPoint's governance reach to disconnected apps.

Broad incumbents

• Okta: Okta is the leading cloud identity provider offering SSO, MFA, and lifecycle management. Direct overlap with Cerby in identity and SSO, and is also an investor and integration partner — making it both incumbent and channel.
• Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD): Microsoft Entra ID is a broad enterprise identity platform integrated with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Comparable as a primary identity provider that Cerby extends for disconnected applications, and a named integration partner.
