About Beyond Identity
Beyond Identity is a commercial identity security platform that replaces passwords with device-bound passkeys and ties each login to the security posture of the device making it. Its secure access platform combines phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, device trust, and continuous access control, with the stated goal of blocking identity-based attacks such as credential theft and account takeover.
Organizations use it to verify that both managed and unmanaged devices meet their security policies before granting access to applications and data, and to keep assessing risk after sign-in rather than only at login. The vendor also offers customer-facing authentication aimed at reducing account takeover, along with offerings for government environments, zero trust programs, and securing access to AI systems.
The product is delivered as a hosted service and integrates with existing identity and security tools. The vendor positions it against traditional SSO and traditional MFA, and it publishes customer stories, documentation, and compliance resources. A pricing page is available, and the company offers a short pre-recorded guided demo.
