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 categoriesSupports 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.
Detects and responds to identity threats, including out-of-the-box XDR integrations.
Defines and enforces authorization policies that decide which users and machines can access which applications and APIs, evaluated at runtime alongside authentication.
Supports basic create, read, update and delete identity life-cycle operations across all user types.
Implements 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 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.
Governs how employees use GenAI tools in the browser, restricting which AI sites are allowed and preventing sensitive data from being pasted or uploaded into chatbots and AI assistants.
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.
