Identity, security, and IT teams all view identity from a different angle—each has different responsibilities, and each uses different tools to manage their part of the identity lifecycle. Linx unites these teams through a unified platform, allowing them to easily manage the ever-growing complexity of identities together. Making it easier for your organization to be secure and compliant.
Linx Identity Security empowers identity, security, and IT operations teams to master the entire identity lifecycle. Unlike traditional solutions, Linx simplifies complex identity security challenges by organizing your organization’s identity data into a clear, actionable view. By integrating seamlessly with your existing IAM infrastructure, Linx reveals hidden connections between employees, their digital identities, and their access privileges. This unparalleled visibility enables you to proactively reduce vulnerabilities and ensure ongoing compliance.
“Identity security is one of the urgent cybersecurity pain points organizations struggle to address in today’s fast-paced business environment,” said Linx co-founder and CEO Israel Duanis.
“The field of identities is one of the most important for companies,” Duanis told Calcalist. “The companies that have controlled identities until now were built when identity was a governmental domain. We talk about identity in a different way. When you look at the new wave of companies, some are looking at automation, entry through non-human identities, we are going after the most difficult problem, which is people management, building a platform that will cover the whole issue of identities for people who move through the organization.”
