# Strata Identity

> Strata Identity is a Boulder, Colorado cybersecurity company that pioneered the category of Identity Orchestration. Its Maverics platform lets enterprises connect any application to any identity provider - on-premises or cloud - without rewriting code, so they can migrate off legacy systems, survive identity outages, and govern access for both humans and AI agents. Founded in 2019 by SAML co-author Eric Olden and two fellow identity veterans, Strata raised more than $40 million and was acquired by data-security firm Rubrik in June 2026.

## Products & services

- **Maverics Identity Orchestration Platform** — A distributed abstraction layer that connects any application to any identity provider across on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments without rewriting app code.
- **Identity Orchestration Recipes** — No-code, multi-step runtime workflows that automate onboarding, offboarding, and migration off legacy IDPs like Oracle Access Manager and SiteMinder to Okta, Microsoft Entra, AWS, and Google.
- **Identity Continuity / Resilience** — Automatic failover that keeps authentication working when a primary identity provider suffers an outage, eliminating single points of failure.
- **AI Identity Gateway** — A runtime identity and policy-enforcement control point that authenticates, authorizes, and observes every action AI agents take against upstream services, including across Model Context Protocol environments.
- **Hexa & IDQL (open source)** — Open-source software and the Identity Query Language standard for multi-cloud policy orchestration, created by Strata's founders.
