Identity & Access Management
Unixi
Extends SSO, MFA, and access governance to non-SAML and shadow SaaS.
Unixi Overview
What it does
Unixi is a SaaS identity security platform that extends single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and access governance to browser-based applications an identity provider cannot federate, including non-SAML apps, shadow SaaS, and shared accounts. Its proprietary Key Derived Authentication (KDA) protocol generates credentials through multi-key cryptographic blending inside the browser, so passwords are never stored centrally and application coverage does not depend on per-application SAML integrations or identity provider licensing tiers.
How it works
A browser extension deployed across the workforce observes authentication at the point of login, giving application-level visibility without network changes; authentication itself happens locally in the browser. Discovery inventories managed and unmanaged SaaS in use, with roughly 150 newly discovered applications per month; Risk Analysis flags shared, dormant, and orphaned accounts; Access Management enforces SSO and MFA universally, including approval gates before sign-in to new applications; and Lifecycle Management automates deprovisioning over SAML and SCIM connections to Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Ping Identity. Credentials are never centrally stored, a design intended to resist infostealer malware and phishing.
Credentials and traction
Named enterprise customers include Paramount, Intuit, Cymulate, LifeLabs, Well Health, Hippo, and Knix. Unixi won Best Identity and Access Governance Platform in The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards (2026). The platform targets enterprises closing single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and governance gaps across non-SAML applications, shadow SaaS, and generative AI tools that traditional identity providers leave unmanaged.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesImplements SAML 2.0, OIDC, and OAuth 2.0 for SSO across SaaS and on-premises applications, with a pre-built application catalog and custom app support.
Detects and responds to identity threats, including out-of-the-box XDR integrations.
Supports basic create, read, update and delete identity life-cycle operations across all user types.
Defines and enforces authorization policies that decide which users and machines can access which applications and APIs, evaluated at runtime alongside authentication.
Supports FIDO2 hardware keys, platform biometrics (Touch ID, Windows Hello), and passkeys for phishing-resistant authentication without password entry.
Provides phishing-resistant MFA such as FIDO2 and X.509, with protections against compromised passwords and common MFA attacks.
Extends SSO authentication enforcement to apps that don't support SAML/OIDC natively, using a browser extension to intercept and govern login events for shadow IT and unmanaged SaaS that are invisible to the corporate IdP.
Detects and inventories SaaS apps accessed through the browser that are not sanctioned or registered with the IdP, surfacing unmanaged app usage for IT governance and access control decisions.
Discovers, risk-scores, and enforces policy on workforce use of AI in the browser, covering GenAI web tools, AI browsing agents, full AI browsers, and AI features inside conventional browsers, including restricting which are allowed and blocking sensitive data from being pasted, uploaded, or acted on by an agent.
Inserts an MFA challenge at login or before a sensitive in-app action for any web application, without modifying the application's source code.
Detects and blocks phishing pages and credential theft in the browser, including newly created lookalike domains that reputation blocklists have not yet caught, and prevents enterprise credentials from being entered or reused on unsanctioned external sites.
Collects login and session telemetry directly from the browser regardless of identity provider or device, including which application was authenticated, with which account and method, and whether MFA was used, and exports it for identity threat detection and access governance.
