Description
Strata is the go-to platform for Identity Orchestration, enabling enterprises to connect any app to any identity service—without the chaos of hard-wiring identity or rewriting applications. The company’s founders created the IDQL (Identity Query Language) standard and Hexa open-source software for multi-cloud policy orchestration and are co-authors of the SAML standard for SSO federation. See how Strata can reduce IAM tech debt, improve security, break vendor lock-in, and minimize code maintenance for your enterprise apps. Use Identity Orchestration to easily migrate IDPs, integrate MFA or passwordless features on non-standard apps, and ensure continuous identity availability.
