Founded in 2020 by Belsasar (Bel) Lepe, CEO, Cerby provides identity teams with the comprehensive access management platform for nonstandard applications. It works to remove manual tools and compensating controls (like enterprise password managers) by automating human security tasks based on single sign-on and lifecycle management cues from upstream identity providers. This allows Cerby to protect any application independent of standards support. Its patent-pending access orchestration engine makes passwordless authentication an immediate reality for nonstandard applications. With it, identity teams can extend access, minimize risk, and lower costs. Since 2022, the platform has enabled clients like L’Oréal, Fox, Colgate-Palmolive, Dentsu, and Televisa to detect nonstandard apps and guide business users to more secure alternatives.
