Okta
Every tap on an Okta tile hides a difficult bargain: make access effortless for the right person, and impossible for everyone else. Now the identity company is extending that bargain to machines and AI agents.
imper.ai
imper.ai is a New York-based cybersecurity company that builds an identity verification platform purpose-built for the workforce. It prevents impersonation and account takeover across the employee lifecycle - from hiring to help desk account recovery - by pairing an Impersonation Detection Engine that reads hundreds of network, device, and behavioral signals with an AI-driven contextual verification layer that confirms the real person behind a session using role-specific questions that cannot be sourced from breached data. Founded in 2024 by veterans of Israel's Unit 8200, the company launched publicly in December 2025 with $28M in total funding backed by Redpoint Ventures and Battery Ventures.
SecureAuth
SecureAuth is an Irvine, California identity security company that has spent two decades trying to answer one stubborn question: is the person (or machine, or AI agent) on the other end of a login really who they claim to be? Founded in 2005, it built a name on risk-based and passwordless authentication, then doubled down on AI with its Arculix platform, continuous facial assurance, and a 'microperimeter' that extends Zero Trust controls to AI agents. Today it serves both workforce (IAM) and customer (CIAM) use cases for 250+ enterprises across regulated industries, protecting more than 250 million identities.
OLOID
OLOID is a Sunnyvale, California software company building passwordless, biometric identity and access for the 1.8 billion deskless and frontline workers who rarely sit at a desk or carry a company laptop. Its cloud platform lets factory, hospital, retail and pharmaceutical workers authenticate with their face, an NFC or RFID badge, or a QR code on shared devices and doors, without new hardware, while plugging into existing HRIS, SSO and physical access control systems. In 2025 OLOID extended into agentic identity with AURA, an AI identity-assurance agent that verifies employees in real time during help-desk requests like password resets and account unlocks.
