Cerby is an identity security automation platform that brings nonstandard and disconnected applications - the ones that don't speak SAML, SCIM, or OIDC - into the identity lifecycle of enterprise IdPs like Okta, Azure AD, and Ping. Using robotic process automation and agentic AI, Cerby automates onboarding, offboarding, credential rotation, and access governance for the apps traditional IAM tools leave behind.
