Workforce identity
Gideon Identity helps teams replace passwords with hardware-backed passkeys, verify device posture before access, and keep every user, app, and entitlement audit-ready from day one.
Identity risk
Password-based authentication systems rely on employees to never make a mistake. As long as users can be tricked by phishing, traditional credentials remain hackers' preferred attack vector.
Gideon Identity changes the model. By anchoring access to cryptographic passkeys and real-time device posture, you remove shared secrets from the equation entirely.
The result is an authentication flow that protects business assets without demanding human perfection.
Core capabilities
Replace passwords and one-time codes with passkeys that use native device security such as Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, and Android biometrics.
Business value: Fewer credential-based incidents, fewer password resets, and less friction for the workforce.
Connect employees to the applications they need through standards-based SSO. Gideon supports SAML and OIDC integrations for common enterprise apps, with templates for fast setup and custom integrations for the rest.
Business value: Modernize identity without breaking existing app access.
Automate user onboarding, changes, and offboarding across connected applications. Gideon syncs from cloud and on-premises directories, then provisions app access through SCIM where supported.
Business value: Faster onboarding, cleaner offboarding, and fewer manual access tickets.
Make access decisions with real context. Gideon evaluates who the user is, what device they are using, whether the device is trusted, how they authenticated, where the request is coming from, and how sensitive the application is.
Business value: Stronger protection for sensitive apps without applying the same friction to every login.
Know who has access, why they have it, and whether they still need it. Gideon includes governance workflows for access reviews, entitlement recertification, role management, and segregation of duties.
Business value: Reduce access risk and make audits easier to support.
Gideon helps admins find and fix identity risk faster. Teams can surface stale access, over-provisioned users, risky entitlement combinations, failed access patterns, and audit evidence from one place.
Business value: Less time spent searching for identity problems and more confidence in the actions taken to resolve them.
Phased migration
Gideon can operate as your identity provider or layer over your existing provider while you migrate. Move users and apps in practical phases instead of forcing every workflow to change at once.
| Phase | What changes |
|---|---|
| Federated | Keep your current IdP in place while Gideon applies access policy and device trust. |
| Hybrid | Let enrolled users authenticate directly with Gideon passkeys while others continue through the existing IdP. |
| Direct | Move Gideon into the primary authentication path while your directory remains the source of user data. |
Device trust
Traditional identity checks often stop at the user record. Gideon adds device trust to the decision, so access can depend on whether the device is known, managed, compliant, and healthy at the moment access is requested. That matters for high-risk apps, remote work, contractors, and regulated teams where a correct password is not enough proof of trust.
| App or action | Access requirement |
|---|---|
| Payroll system | Passkey authentication from a managed, compliant device |
| Source code repository | Passkey authentication plus device posture check |
| Finance approval workflow | Verified user, trusted device, and approved entitlement |
| Contractor access | Limited app scope and stricter device requirements |
Integrations
Gideon is built on standards and integrations familiar to enterprise IT teams. Pre-built app templates help teams connect common SaaS applications quickly, while custom SAML and OIDC integrations cover apps outside the catalog.
| Authentication | Passkeys, FIDO2, WebAuthn |
|---|---|
| Federation | SAML 2.0 and OIDC |
| Provisioning | SCIM where supported |
| Directories | Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, Active Directory, LDAP |
| Device trust | Gideon Endpoint Management and managed-device posture signals |
| Administration | Visual policy management, approval workflows, and versioned changes |
Enterprise readiness
Gideon Identity is designed for organizations that need strong access controls, clean governance workflows, and audit-ready records across the user lifecycle.
Role-based and attribute-based access models.
Delegated administration for regional or business-unit IT teams.
Multi-stage approvals for sensitive access.
Time-limited emergency access with full audit visibility.
Access reviews and entitlement certification for regulated environments.
Evidence records for authentication, policy decisions, lifecycle changes, approvals, and revocations.
Real-World Impact
Legacy identity providers were built for a perimeter that no longer exists. We built Gideon to solve the access realities modern enterprises actually face.
The pain: Passwords, push fatigue, and intercepted SMS codes are still the root cause of most breaches.
The Gideon fix: Move the workforce to hardware-backed passkeys. By removing shared secrets and phishable factors from the sign-in flow entirely, you neutralize credential-stuffing and drastically reduce helpdesk reset tickets.
The pain: A correct password doesn't mean the login is safe if the device requesting it is compromised, unmanaged, or infected.
The Gideon fix: Access decisions evaluate real-time device posture. For high-risk actions—like accessing source code, payroll, or customer data—Gideon ensures the device is known, healthy, and compliant before granting entry.
The pain: Pre-audit panic spent manually hunting down stale accounts, excessive privileges, and toxic entitlement combinations across dozens of apps.
The Gideon fix: Continuous, built-in governance. Run automated access reviews, identify orphaned accounts the day a contractor leaves, and generate clean, undeniable evidence records for every access decision and revocation.
The pain: Migrating to a new identity provider usually means a massive, disruptive cutover that breaks workflows and paralyzes the business.
The Gideon fix: Layer Gideon over your existing IdP (like Okta or Entra ID). Start by enforcing device trust and passkeys for a pilot group or specific sensitive apps, then migrate your fleet in phased, low-risk stages.
