At Cerby we believe security is everyone’s business. Collaborating across your apps doesn’t need to be chaos. We are a mission-critical cybersecurity company that empowers your teams to operate securely and control their apps completely. We’ve built our product on the idea that teams deserve autonomy over their work apps. It turns out that why they are guaranteed a choice, security comes naturally.
More than 50% of all technology is spent outside of centralized IT organizations. Individual business units are taking their technology destiny into their own hands, and we enable that. End user onboarded applications are behind more than one third of all cybersecurity hacks. We provide the solution to manage that through enabling users to select their own technology and we automatically protect those applications.

What We Do
Cerby is the only identity security platform built for disconnected apps, providing IT and Security teams with full control over apps that lack APIs or support for protocols like SAML or SCIM. Seamlessly integrating with your central identity provider, Cerby extends critical security automations—such as SSO, MFA, and lifecycle management—to any app without incurring the costly “SSO tax.” With Cerby, teams can automate essential tasks like user deprovisioning and password rotations, reducing manual work while closing security gaps.
With Cerby, your team can:
✔ Centralize and automate access controls for disconnected apps
✔Securely share access to corporate social media accounts
✔ Streamline lifecycle management for apps without APIs or SCIM
✔ Automate deprovisioning and password rotations for shared privileged accounts
✔ Instantly detect app sprawl and make IT-approved suggestions to control costs and proliferation
