About the Company
AuthMind is an innovator in identity security, continuously identifying and preventing hidden identity risks. AuthMind’s patented access neural network technology enables organizations to analyze all identity access flows and requests within all on-prem and cloud applications. The result is an AI-powered identity security platform that automatically identifies, mitigates and prevents previously undiscoverable identity risks. AuthMind brings together siloed identity systems, processes and policies, eliminating dangerous threats such as shadow identities and multi-factor authentication gaps. By automating and extending identity security in real-time, AuthMind works anywhere without integrating any agents or clients.
