Strata Identity

We didn’t make this up, but we could be the poster-child for it! Apparently March 15th was?Colorado-Canada Friendship Day!????????? At Strata Identity, our team spans both sides of the border, with deep roots in both Colorado and Canada. Some of our favorite/favourite moments with our Maverics have been spent on the slopes, whether carving through fresh powder at Copper Mountain Resort or tackling the legendary runs on Whistler Blackcomb. ?? ?? Snowboarding and skiing aren't just sports for us; they are shared passions that bring us together, fuel our adventurous spirit, and remind us why we love what we do. Here’s to the friendships, the mountains, and the adventures that unite us! Photo is a throwback to January 2023 on Whistler Mountain.

Imagine this: You’re running a modern enterprise, moving apps to the cloud, adopting new tech, and suddenly, you hit a wall. You’re juggling multiple clouds, multiple identity providers, and a mess of authentication systems that don’t talk to each other. This is the challenge organizations face today. Identity wasn’t built for a multi-cloud, multi-provider world. It used to be simple — one company, one identity provider. Now, mergers, acquisitions, and digital transformation have created a new reality: identity fragmentation. So what do most companies do? They patch it together. Custom code. Manual workarounds. More security risks. More complexity. That’s why identity orchestration is a game-changer. It doesn’t replace identity providers like Okta or Azure AD. It connects them, making them work together seamlessly. It’s the VMware of identity — abstracting identity from the underlying providers so you can move apps, switch vendors, and modernize without breaking everything. If you’ve ever struggled with getting identity to work across multiple clouds and providers, you’re not alone. That’s why we built Strata Identity — to make identity flexible, interoperable, and manageable at scale. The reality is simple: If you have multiple identity systems, you need orchestration.

Fragmented authentication creates real security risks. Without a unified approach, organizations struggle with inconsistent security policies, lack of centralized auditing, and increased exposure to breaches. The good news? You can unify SSO across multiple identity providers — without provisioning new user accounts. Join Simon Moffatt principal analyst at Cyberhut and Aldo Pietropaolo, Chief Field CTO at Strata Identity for a webinar exploring common risks in today's authentication practices then walk you through strategies to unify your SSO experience.

You've got how many IDPs?? While there are many good reasons for multiple identity providers in one organization, the spiralling lack of control created by identity sprawl causes an outsized amount of strain. Can you relate? Check out our webinar with Simon Moffatt, Founder and Research Analyst at The Cyber Hut, and Aldo Pietropaolo, Field CTO at Strata Identity. Learn how IDP rationalization can help you reduce complexity, improve security, and achieve unified SSO — without the headache of ripping and replacing existing systems. ??

Managing identity sessions in a multi-IDP environment is complex. With authentication replacing the traditional security perimeter, enterprises face growing risks — especially unauthorized access. The challenge? Most organizations still rely on periodic session checks instead of real-time security enforcement. Continuous Access Evaluation Profile (CAEP) offers a new approach. By enabling IDPs to broadcast security events in real time, CAEP ensures that compromised or unauthorized sessions are revoked immediately, strengthening security without disrupting users. Why it matters: - Stops session hijacking before it escalates - Ensures dynamic and continuous session management - Improves security without disrupting the user experience In his latest article with Dark Reading, Aldo Pietropaolo, Field CTO at Strata Identity, explores how CAEP is reshaping enterprise cybersecurity and why it’s a game-changer for security teams.

Our VP of Product and Standards, Gerry Gebel joined the Security Unfiltered Podcast with Joe Southwick to explain how a new standard access policy definition language, IDQL (Identity Query Language), and an open-source translation system (Hexa Policy Orchestration) can significantly reduce the burden of managing cloud access. ?? This approach leverages abstraction and orchestration to simplify the process, even without extensive subject matter expertise in all areas.

"Risk in multi-cloud is similar to risks with a single cloud or no cloud but it's made more complicated by the fact that it happens in different places." Protecting data in today’s multi-cloud world is more critical and complex than ever before. Cybercrime is evolving, and traditional methods like passwords and MFA aren't enough to secure modern data ecosystems.?? Our CEO, Eric Olden went on the Data Privacy Detective podcast to break down how Identity Orchestration is a game changer for safeguarding data streams while ensuring seamless user experiences.

Struggling with visibility, control, and compliance over sprawling application ecosystems? We hear you! Managing distributed IT environments can be costly and complex, especially as enterprises scale. ?? An application fabric may just be your solution. It provides a governance layer to simplify oversight, strengthen security, and close gaps between identity and application management. It ensures continuous app discovery, centralizes access policies, and streamlines compliance, even across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. For organizations facing challenges like unaccounted applications, siloed ownership, or compliance risks, this approach can be a game-changer. ?? Interested to learn more about application fabric?
