What Mideye does

Mideye AB is a privately held Swedish enterprise authentication software company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Stockholm, with a wholly-owned Finnish subsidiary (Mideye Oy) in Espoo. The company operates in the multi-factor authentication (MFA) market with a RADIUS-centric platform supporting hybrid cloud, on-premises, air-gapped, and cloud-only deployment scenarios. The core architecture is the Mideye Authentication Service (a RADIUS server supporting 11 authentication types including push notifications via the Mideye+ mobile app, SMS OTP, RCS chatbot delivery, hardware OTP tokens — YubiKey and HID Mini — TOTP software tokens, and assisted-login delegated approval). Adjacent modules include Mideye Shield (a pre-authentication threat protection firewall that uses shared threat intelligence across deployments to block credential stuffing, password spray, and MFA fatigue attacks), Mideye Cloud Authentication (a REST API hosted in Sweden with EU data residency), Credential Provider for Windows login, Magic Link passwordless authentication, Air-Gapped Mode for isolated networks, and a self-service Password Reset endpoint. The platform integrates deeply with enterprise VPN/firewall infrastructure (FortiGate, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, Cisco AnyConnect, Check Point, Pulse Connect Secure, Citrix ADC), Windows systems (ADFS, NPS, RDS, RRAS), Linux PAM/SSH, and identity providers (Microsoft Entra ID via Microsoft Graph, LDAP/LDAPS, Keycloak via OpenID Connect). Revenue mechanics are subscription-licensing on the Mideye Server (annual, quote-based for enterprise), complementing hardware token resale (YubiKeys with the ubbc0 serial prefix and HID Mini Token Cards); the Mideye+ mobile app is distributed free via Google Play and the App Store and functions as a delivery channel rather than a revenue product. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by an authorized partner/reseller network for regional reach. The website, technical documentation portal, and end-user/administrator support center in English, Swedish, and German are the primary marketing surfaces. No named end customers, revenue figures, funding events, or institutional investors are disclosed in the source material.

Core offering

Mideye sells an enterprise multi-factor authentication platform built around a RADIUS server that supports hybrid, on-premise, air-gapped, and cloud-only deployments. The product portfolio includes the Mideye+ mobile app for user authentication (push, SMS OTP, magic link, TOTP) and Mideye Shield, a pre-authentication threat protection layer that blocks credential stuffing, password spray, and MFA fatigue attacks using shared threat intelligence across all deployments.

Product overview

Mideye is an enterprise MFA platform offering multi-factor authentication through a modular product portfolio. The core Mideye Authentication Service serves as an on-premises or cloud RADIUS server supporting 11 authentication types. The flagship Mideye+ mobile app delivers push notifications and OTP authentication for end users. Mideye Shield provides pre-authentication threat protection using shared threat intelligence. Additional modules include Cloud Authentication (REST API hosted in Sweden), Hardware Token support (YubiKey, HID), Credential Provider for Windows login, Assisted Login for delegated temporary access, Air-Gapped Mode for isolated deployments, RCS Chatbot for RCS protocol delivery, Magic Link for passwordless auth, and On-Premise TOTP Tokens for offline scenarios.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• RSA Security: Long-established enterprise MFA and authentication vendor (RSA SecurID) selling RADIUS-compatible tokens and on-prem authentication servers. Closest analog to Mideye in deployment models, customer profile, and on-prem/hybrid orientation.
• Entrust: Identity and authentication vendor with MFA, hardware tokens (e.g., Entrust IdentityGuard), and on-premise authentication servers. Direct competitor in enterprise authentication with strong regulated/government presence.
• WatchGuard AuthPoint: MFA platform with push notifications, hardware tokens, and RADIUS integration targeted at SMB and mid-market enterprises. Direct competitor in the same enterprise MFA category with overlapping deployment patterns.
• OneSpan: Enterprise authentication and fraud detection vendor with multi-factor authentication, RADIUS support, and on-prem/hybrid deployment options. Comparable product scope and customer base in regulated industries.
• Yubico: Leading hardware authentication token vendor (YubiKey) which Mideye explicitly integrates with. Both serve enterprise authentication buyers, though Mideye is a software/MFA server vendor and Yubico is a hardware token specialist.

Emerging players

• Beyond Identity: Passwordless MFA platform using device-bound credentials. Adjacent to Mideye's MFA category but differentiated by passwordless approach; representative of where MFA authentication is heading.
• Hideez: Authentication and identity vendor with hardware tokens and enterprise MFA offerings; smaller scale and more specialized than RSA/Okta. Comparable to Mideye as a smaller competitor targeting enterprise authentication buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD): Identity platform bundled into Microsoft 365 with native MFA, which Mideye integrates with via Microsoft Graph API. The dominant incumbent whose MFA capabilities compete with standalone vendors at effectively zero marginal cost.
• Okta: Leading workforce and customer identity platform with MFA as one component of a much broader SSO/identity offering. Represents the platform consolidation risk for standalone MFA vendors like Mideye.
• Cisco Duo: Cloud-first MFA platform now owned by Cisco, integrated with Cisco AnyConnect which Mideye also supports. Broader identity portfolio but overlapping RADIUS/MFA use cases for enterprise VPN and application access.
