What sets Authentik apart from other IAM solutions?
Authentik is an identity provider that can be self-hosted, to run on-prem or in your own private cloud to provide single sign on and customizable multifactor access flows. It covers workforce and customer IAM in a single cohesive platform, including human and non-human identities, with a focus on security and automation.
Why would an organisation choose to self-hosted identity?
By owning their identity stack, companies don’t have to send sensitive data over the public internet to a SaaS provider, or hope that that third party stays up to provide critical infrastructure. For organisations with demanding security requirements, like some of our federal clients, it’s straightforward to run a FIPS-compliant, even airgapped instance of Authentik to provide identity services within a highly secured network.
What are the benefits of being open source and source-available?
Instead of relying on a black box proprietary solution for identity, customers can and do run their own security testing against our code since it’s built in the open. Our open source code is continuously reviewed by experts in the community, and we prioritise security from design to code, testing, and maintenance.
